Featured review
Old style production full of life, humor and color
Although this recording has yet to be restored and transferred to DVD the old LD release still looks pretty good. The production and music direction are still one of the best ever and despite many later and technically better DVDs this is still my favorite. The sets and special effects are wonderful and the costumes very original.The whole performance zips along at a good pace with English explanatory frames inserted at appropriate moments. This is a production in the old style with emphasis on more what it might have looked like when Prokofiev wrote it. No minimalist staging, dinner jackets and politically correct revisions here! Strongly recommended if you can find a copy somewhere.
