Reviews
The choral singing is consistently strong, the playing terrific, and Karabits conducts with extraordinary passion. Trippett has carefully modelled his orchestration on Liszt’s works of the early 1850s, and it sounds unquestionably authentic when placed beside the exhilarating performance of Mazeppa that forms its companion piece. Throughout there’s a real sense of excitement at the discovery and restoration of a fine work by one of the most inventive of composers. You end up wishing that Liszt had somehow incorporated operatic composition into his extraordinary career, and wondering what the course of musical history might have been if he had. Tim Ashley
This first-ever recording offers a fascinating glimpse of what might have been. Joyce El-Khoury and Airam Hernández are the singers bravely taking on the challenging lead roles and the Staatskapelle Weimar conducted by Kirill Karabits revels in the Gothic excess of Liszt’s only mature operatic score. The tone poem Mazeppa makes a comparably rousing filler.
