Prince Igor is an epic opera,with its wonderful crowd scenes and intimate love music and although it can at times appear more a patchwork of scenes than a coherent work it does contain wonderful music which moves along with great vigour and excitement. This version with mainly Bulgarian singers is most enjoyable with Tchakarov bringing out the dramatic tension,vivid melody and colour with finesse and passion,the orchestra responding admirably to all the nuances in the score,the chorus too so important in this work give an outstanding performance in the Polovtsian music. The two magnificent basses Ghiaurov and Ghiuselev excel as Konchak and Galitsky compelling in their richness of voice each bringing out the colour of their character which in turn helps to give some focus to this huge episodic work. Stefka Evstatieva as Yaroslavna(Galitsky's sister) sings beautifully with slavic tone and characterises the role well,the mezzo Alexandrina Miltcheva as Konchakovna(Konchak's daughter)is not quite up to the standard of the aforementoned singers, curdling in places but she too has beautiful moments and does not disappoint and Boris Matinovich has a virile bass voice in the role of Seversky singing with intelligence. Prince Igor although at times a sprawling work contains many pleasures worth exploring and is one of the glories of Russian opera.
