In its history as a concert orchestra, the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks has also devoted itself on numerous occasions to opera, under such eminent conductors as Rafael Kubelik and Leonard Bernstein. Chief conductor Mariss Jansons also maintains the tradition, for example with concert performances of Russian operas such as “Eugene Onegin”. BR-KLASSIK now presents the 2014 live recording in Munich’s Philharmonie im Gasteig of the semi-staged performance of Tchaikovsky’s late masterpiece “The Queen of Spades”. With great connoisseurship, Mariss Jansons has brought together a group of singers for this performance in original Russian who are all native speakers of the language, and very familiar with the work. They include Misha Didyk as Hermann, Tatiana Serjan as Lisa, and Alexey Markov as Prince Yeletsky.

Hearing as refined and lustrous an orchestra as the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra play Tchaikovsky’s magnificent score is a treat in itself. The recording is taken from a series of semi-staged performances of The Queen of Spades that Mariss Jansons conducted in the Munich Gasteig last October. The cast is an entirely Russian-speaking one, but it’s certainly a bit of a mixed bag. There is sometimes a pinched quality in the upper registers of Misha Didyk s Hermann, though his confrontation with Larissa Diadkova’s terrific Countess (beautifully paced and detailed by Jansons), is impressive and never topples over into hysteria; Tatiana Serjan’s Lisa seems rather hard-boiled and squally. The best of the rest is Alexey Markov as Yeletsky, who sings his great second-act aria with just the right mix of ardour and honour. But uniformly convincing recordings of the last of Tchaikovsky’s Pushkin operas are few and far between, and the pluses definitely outweigh the minuses in this one.
