Gianandrea NosedaAbout
The ‘all-Russian’ cast of soloists are Sergey Murzaev (soloist with the Bolshoi Theatre), Evgeny Akimov and Nadezhda Vasilieva (both soloists with the Mariinsky Theatre Company), Gennady Bezzubenkov and the world-renowned soprano Svetla Vassileva.
Sometimes referred to as Rachmaninov’s answer to Carmen, Aleko (adapted from 'The Gypsies' by Alexander Pushkin) was written in 1892 as a graduation work at the Moscow Conservatory and won the highest prizes from the judges that year. The rhapsodic Orientalism and effortless melodies are particularly appealling. As a companion to his two later operas, Aleko illustrates Rachmaninov finding his own individual style at an early stage.
