Tschaikowsky: Eugen Onegin [DVD]

DVD

Described by Tchaikovsky as ? lyric scenes', Eugene Onegin receives a spectacular reinterpretation from the Norwegian director Stefan Herheim. His productions create controversy and excitement around Europe, and here he takes Pushkin's story of illusion, disaffection and frustrated love, and places the protagonists - world-weary Onegin and naïve, passionate Tatyana - in a triple temporal perspective, referencing the theatrical present, the period of the work's composition, and the pageant of Russia's history. Mariss Jansons, renowned for his mastery of Tchaikovsky's symphonies, conducts this performance from Amsterdam's Muziektheater.

Press Reviews

" Put too much steam into Tchaikovsky's score and it wilts. Be too shy and retiring, on the other hand, and the tragic momentum evaporates. Jansons sets us on a simmer and gradually turns the heat to boiling. It is magisterially paced, stunningly played and, seemingly effortlessly, Jansons captures every aching nuance. [? ] Herheim's innovations are often throbbingly acute (and sometimes wickedly funny). " ( The Times)

" The Concertgebouw Orchestra, of which Mr. Jansons is music director, is here a dream of a pit orchestra. Mr. Jansons's musicality is stamped on every phrase, and he ensures ideal coordination between singers and orchestra. " ( The New York Times)

" Herheim directs so many keen moments of character interactions that there's no danger of the opera lapsing into simplistic cliches. . . " ( Gramophone)

" Although I look forward to seeing many more traditional stage productions, even if I do not expect all to have the same musical values as are achieved here, this is a version which anyone who loves this most personal of operas needs to see and hear. " ( Musicweb International)

" Star of the evening is the conductor Mariss Jansons. It's clear from the documentary that he loves the work. . and he plays it with a rhythmic vitality " ( International Record Review)

Tschaikowsky, Peter - Der Nußknacker

DVD

Als Der Nussknacker von Piotr Il'yich Tschaikovsky am 06. Dezember 1892 im Marijinskij-Theater in St. Petersburg uraufgeführt wurde, erlebte das Publikum ein zauberhaftes Märchenballett, das die Grenzen zwischen Fantasie und Wirklichkeit auf wunderbare Weise verwischte. Und auch in den meisten späteren Aufführungen wurde die Realität der Erwachsenen mit dem Traumreich der Kinder versöhnt, um so wenigstens auf künstlerische Weise die eigentlich unerfüllbare Sehnsucht nach der verlorenen Kindheit doch noch zu erfüllen. Einen gänzlich anderen Deutungsansatz wählte Patrice Bart im Dezember 1999. Der Choreograf stellte an der Deutschen Staatsoper Unter den Linden dem Ballett-Klassiker, der auf der Erzählung Nussknacker und Mäusekönig des deutschen Romantikers E. T. A. Hoffmann basiert, einen frei erfundenen, recht deplatziert wirkenden Prolog voran. In ihm behauptet er, dass Marie, die Hauptfigur des Balletts, als Kind mitansehen musste, wie russische Revolutionäre ihre Familie überfielen und den Vater töteten. Das Mädchen ist von diesen Vorgängen traumatisiert und erfährt auch bei seinen lieblosen Adoptiveltern keine Linderung des harten Schicksals. Erst ein zum Leben erweckter Nussknacker befreit Marie in einer groß angelegten Vergangenheitsbewältigung von ihrem Trauma. Oh weh! Was für eine krude, ja hanebüchene Verbiegung des ursprünglichen Märchenstoffs! Nichts gegen neue Wege in der Interpretation alter Werke, aber diese überfrachtete und allzu ambitionierte Sichtweise tut Tschaikovskys verträumt angelegtem Ballett denn doch Gewalt an. Patrice Barts verquaster Psychoquatsch ist eine allzu konstruierte Neufassung, die den magischen Reiz des Casse-Noisette über weite Strecken vermissen lässt. Denn über eine amateurhafte Küchen-Psychologie kommt diese Version hier selten hinaus. Aber genug gemeckert. Wenn die Aufzeichnung dieses Ballettabends vom 23. Dezember 1999 letztlich doch noch einen bezaubernden Charme entfalten kann, dann liegt dies an den ausnahmslos erstklassigen Mitwirkenden. Das Ballett der Deutschen Staatsoper Berlin begeistert mit einer exzellenten Darbietung und der mühelosen Meisterung selbst schwierigster Tanzschritte, Drehungen und Hebungen. Die Solisten Nadja Saidakova ( Marie), Vladimir Malakhov (als Nussknacker) und Oliver Matz (in der Rolle von Maries Mentor Drosselmeyer) harmonieren bestens und glänzen mit einer virtuosen Tanzkunst vom Feinsten. Die farbenprächtigen Kostüme und die fantastischen Bühnenbilder lassen den Zuschauer aus dem Staunen gar nicht mehr herauskommen. Und die Staatskapelle Berlin unter Daniel Barenboim, die das Ganze live begleitet, spielt P. I. Tschaikovskys herrliche Musik mit jener Zartheit und Leichtigkeit, die dem russischen Komponisten beim Schreiben der Partitur vorgeschwebt haben mag. -Harald Kepler

Press Reviews

" Anthony Dowell's production. . . offers the ultimate classical experience, with the sights and sounds of a proud 19th century tradition running at full throttle. Fancy a romantic tragedy in a tutu? Then this is the ballet for you. . . The production as a whole is beautifully formed and dramatically convincing. . .

Tschaikowsky: Der Schwanensee [Blu-ray]

Blu-ray

Agnès Letestu, a feminine and warm Odette, and José Martinez, a convincing, pale, vulnerable prince Siegfried, are the stars of this deeply passionate, ? dream' version of Swan Lake. Rudolf Nureyev's interpretation of Tchaikovsky's lyrical ballet, far from being a clichéd stereotype of this celebrated masterpiece, is an exposé of astonishingly powerful and recognisable human emotions. Under the inspired and clearcut musical direction of Vello Pähn, this production of one of the jewels of the Paris Opera Ballet's repertoire brilliantly displays the meticulous precision, technical prowess and pure, unmannered style of the company's unrivalled female corps de ballet, eliciting an ethereal, intense beauty captured for D V D in High Definition video and superb surround sound.

Press Reviews

" This Parisian Swan Lake offers the reworked choreography which Nureyev devised for his 1984 production of the ballet and which has remained a favoured recital ever since. . . Readers used to traditional views of the ballet should see this gripping newcomer. " ( The Penguin Guide)

"? their [ Agnès Letestu & José Martinez] dancing was sensational, and Letestu in particular was magnificent. She was soft, lyrical yet aristocratic as Odette, as befits her slender, long-limbed body and her mime scene was of intense beauty. . . Letestu is outstanding as Odile, both in her technical prowess and artistic interpretation. " ( Culture Kiosque)

" Vello Pähn is quite simply one of the best dance conductors I've ever heard, capturing the full suavity of the waltzes, the panache of the national dances in Act I I I (shunted towards the beginning) and the full blazing tragedy of the final lakeside scene. " ( B B C Music Magazine)
