Synopsis

Amazon.com

This title usually brings to mind Rimsky-Korsakov's opera of the same name, but Tchaikovsky's 1873 incidental music for Alexander Ostrovsky's play Snegurochka deserves recognition. Replete with beautiful tunes--some by Tchaikovsky and others adapted by him from Russian folk sources--this is a welcome addition for those with a fondness for Russian opera. This Naxos recording offers hearty, knowledgeable singing and playing from the Moscow Capella and Moscow Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Igor Golovchin. Both mezzo- soprano Elena Okolysheva and tenor Arkady Mishenkin have the characteristic back-of-the-throat Slavic production; while his sound is a bit too tight for comfort, she's a pleasure to hear in this repertoire. --Sarah Bryan Miller

CD Reviews

1812 Overture, Nutcracker and Swan Lake fans, lend an ear

Andrew W. Saul | Rochester, NY | 08/23/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I confess to being only a moderate Tchaikovsky fan. I am deeply moved by his violin concerto, as I've tried to play it and I am not one percent of the violinist that it takes to do so. What motivates this review is that here, in this recording of the Snow Maiden, we are offered so many wonderful tunes, choral, solo voice, and orchestral, that you literally cannot miss. It is as spirited as only Russian folk music brilliantly set to symphony could be. The recording itself is clear as a bell, and the performances are terrific, even inspiring. I think this work may be more of a toe-tapper than even the ubiquitous Tchaikovsky war-horses such as the 1812 Overture. Listen to some samples and make up your own mind."
