There is a "but" unfortunately. Without too much ado, this is a brilliant piece of work. The music is beautiful (tuneful, melodic etc.) and the conducting is excellent. Orbelian really does a great job (the love duet, for example, magically evokes a warm starry night). It is the characters who make one hesitate...let me quickly say that they are not that bad.

The DG recording with Jaarvi would have been ideal (Nicolai Ghiaurov in the title role is, for me, definitive) but I cannot abide the unsteady Guleghina.

Rachmaninov has some works of astounding beauty--I'm thinking of a number of his piano preludes, and his 2 Elegaic Trios. This opera is not one of his masterpieces--it's an early opera, interesting gypsy love story, but rather mundane musically. The final 2 scenes show some glimpses of brilliance. Overall, I'ld rate this a "don't buy".
