5.0 out of 5 stars This opera is simply one of the best I have heard in ages, 29 Aug 2001

By A Customer

I brought this opera not having heard any of it before. The only piece of operatic music I had heard by Prokofiev before was the March from the Love for Three oranges. It was such a suprise to me, I fell in love with it.The music is very atmospheric, each character has a particular theme that is used to represent them. The music is not very melodic, but it is not like Schoenberg, there is a distinct tonal centre. The singers perform this very well, it is so nice to hear a Russian opera sung only by Russians. Any one who likes the opera should try and listen to Duke Bluebeards Castle by Bartok which is quite similar, although not quite as good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exhausting! Exhilarating!, 30 Aug 2003

By	YellowElspeth "Elspeth" (Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews

I didn't think this would be 'my kind' of opera - I usually prefer something more lyrical. This is just one of the most fantastic, disturbing, challenging, exhilarating, exhausting things I've ever listened to. Gorchakova is absolutely breath-taking, in fact it could almost be distracting, to sit and wonder how on earth she manages it all. The final scene in the convent is just beyond words, I felt like I was sitting jaw-dropped for a long time afterwards. It will be a long time before I listen to this opera again, not because I didn't like it but because it is such a profound experience. Phew!

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent, if disturbing neglected 20th cent. masterpiece, 16 Feb 2001

By A Customer

Nuf said. The performance is incisive, performed by those who have the music in the blood.

Gergiev can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned, this recorded performance demonstrates why.
