Valery GergievAbout
Bartók's only opera is a dark and intense work, involving only two characters. Bluebeard's young bride persuades him to open seven doors in his castle in order to let light into the grim interior. Behind each she finds increasingly disturbing sights, until behind the final door she discovers Bluebeard's former wives and learns her fate.
CONCERT REVIEWS:
'Who needs weeping walls and blood-stained jewels when you have the voice of Elena Zhidkova? As Bluebeard's wife she made us see and feel it all' The Times
'a performance of white-hot intensity ... Gergiev drew out all the myriad colours ... Elena Zhidkova who was nothing short of sensational' MusicOMH
DSD recording, live at the Barbican January 2009.
