Coproduction Festival d'Aix-en-Provence 2004, Teatro Real de Madrid "The score is crisply punctuated, still recognisably Prokoviev, but he rounds off the rough edges, stressing Ravellian colour and the influence of Rimsky-Korsakov. The balance between pit and stage was faultless, allowing singers to present often thankless vocal lines with ease." Financial Times “The outdoor romp of Philippe Calvario's Aix Festival production is dominated by the outlandish costumes of Aurore Popineau, including a festish-queen Fata Morgana who is flanked by bondage-boy devils… …Ygan Sokhiev enjoys a much closer relationship with his singers than he ever did during his ill-fated times at Welsh National Opera; he's both deft and definite with the many fluctuations of tempo and character.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2007 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Prokofiev: The Love for Three OrangesRecorded live at Het Muziektheater, Amsterdam, in 2005.
Alain Vernhes, Martial Defontaine, François Le Roux, Serghei Khomov, Sandrine Piau, Anna Shafajinskaja & Sir Willard White Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus of De Nederlandse Opera, Stéphane Denève (musical director) & Laurent Pelly (stage director) Note: This Blu-ray Disc (BD) is not compatible with standard DVD players. Prokofiev’s enchantingly surreal commedia dell’arte masterwork is turned into a spectacular triumph of total theatre in this vital production from the Amsterdam Muziektheater. De Nederlandse Opera has chosen to use the more flexible French libretto of the 1921 premiere, a pertinent choice which has the advantage of accentuating the aesthetic common ground shared by Prokofiev and Les Six. Stéphane Denève’s brilliant musical direction inspires outstanding performances from the soloists and the superb Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, enhanced by the smart, blockbusting staging of Laurent Pelly and the exquisite sets of Chantal Thomas, which propel this feverish fable to great heights. Bonus material/features: Cast gallery & Illustrated synopsis Introduction including interviews with main members of the cast and the artistic team ‘A wonderful spectacle… A masterful staging of Prokofiev’s Love for three oranges from DNO. … Seldom have we seen such a successful synthesis of music, image and wit on the operatic stage.’ Het Parool |

| |  | Prokofiev: The Love for Three OrangesStage Director: Gilbert Deflo
Charles Workman, José van Dam, Philippe Rouillon, Barry Banks & Béatrice Uria-Monzon Orchestre et Choeurs de l’Opéra National de Paris, Sylvain Cambreling Opéra National de Paris, 2005 “[This production is] spectacular and expensive- looking, glossy and glacial……. American Charles Workman's Pierrot Prince is a triumph of diction and style [and] it is good to hear Sylvain Cambreling balancing exuberance (the famous March) with the diaphanous subtlety of a marvellous score heavily influenced by Rimsky- Korsakov.” The Financial Times “Gilbert Deflo's elegant staging seems more thought-through than Calvario's free-for-all. His melancholic prince is Pierrot as played by Bapitiste in Les Enfants due Paradis; elsewhere his production mixes commedia dell'arte with Chinese circus and manneristic 1920s types. Deflo's Truffaldino, Barry Banks, is a ringing tenor and a brilliant actor, while his Prince, Charles Workman, is sometimes overstretched but a touching Pierrot. What a shame Sylvain Cambreling's musical direction at the Bastille is so heavy-going.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2007 *** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
