4.0 out of 5 stars Short measure but a compelling piece, 2 Aug 2009
By P. Markham "paul M" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The details claim that this is over 90 minutes, but the opera itself lasts barely 60 minutes. The rest of the time is devoted to interviews and a short promo for the original companion piece at Glyndebourne - Puccini's Gianni Schicchi. Nevertheless, if you can get it at a good price (not list price which is too much for such short measure), this DVD is well worth having. The work itself is very dark and there are no big tunes. It is not at all what one would expect from the Rachmaninov of the Second Piano Concerto or the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. This is relatively unusual Rachmaninov and is clearly influenced by Wagner and more akin to the Rachmaninov of The Isle of the Dead, The Bells and similar more sombre works. It is however, a powerful piece, musically dramatic and clearly orchestrated by a master. This production seems as near as ideal as one could hope for. The cast is uniformly excellent but Sergei Leiferkus in the title role is truly outstanding - a personal tour de force. The addition of a non-singing female member to Rachmaninov's original cast of 5 men is an interesting and illuminating idea in this Glyndebourne production. She brings an extra dimension to the drama and both clarifies and extends the ideas contained within it. As Vladimir Jurowski himself says in the interviews, this is not an opera. It is, however, an interesting and compelling music drama that adds a new dimension to our understanding of Rachmaninov. The interviews are interesting and very illuminating, highlighting the sheer quality of the cast and production team here and the depth of their ideas for this performance. Even the short vignettes from Gianni Schicchi are enjoyable, especially as the great aria O Mio Babbino Caro is given essentially complete. Worth exploring - but not at full price.
