5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive recording of DS's operatic masterpiece, 6 Dec 2006
By PhilsterNo1 (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I used to be a little scared of Lady Macbeth on record: it bursts out of the speakers with ferocious abandon. It was mainly thanks to Covent Garden's darkly comic production that I learned to truly love and embrace the music, even at its most seam-bursting moments. There's no denying that the experience of moving from low comedy to appalling tragedy, from dark intensity to carnivalesque uproar, within the space of one scene, is guaranteed to unnerve and destabilise the listener. But Shostakovich's projection of the life-changing highs and lows experienced by the opera's characters is never less than sincere. We should be shaken by Katerina's fate and for once Rostropovich is the perfect guide to the opera's extremes, equipped as he is with a brilliant cast and orchestra. Not for the faint-hearted by likely to become a firm favourite given its genrous blend of danceable and tearjerking scenes. Tremendous
