• Shostakovich - Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District (Jansens) | DVD | (30/10/2006) from £25.65   |  Saving you £4.34 (16.92%)   |  RRP £29.99

  Shostakovich's musically brilliant and ingeniously panoramic opera about love, lust, power and oppression is famously well played by the Concertgebouw Orchestra under Mariss Jansons in this authoritative production. Stage Director Martin Kusej builds on formidable musical strengths to forge a relentless drama that explores with emotional conviction the shadowy, layered boundaries between victims and perpetrators. First-rate protagonist Eva-Maria Westbroek is phenomenal in her gripping interpretation of Katerina, compelling the entire cast, including the choir, to almost unbearable realism in their portray of timeless human weakness.
