Reviews

»Die CDs basieren auf einer Rundfunkaufnahme aus dem Jahr 1968. Bislang mit viel Glück antiquarisch nur als zumeist kostspielige LPs erhältlich, ist diese zwischen Romantik und expressiver Kante, zugespitzter Komik und ironischer Verschmitztheit changierende Aufnahme ein Glücksfall. Ein typologisch exzellent zusammengestelltes Ensemble rund um den üppigen Bass von A. Korolyov als Zar Dodon in der Hauptrolle sorgt für alle Drastik des akustischen Geschehens, ohne je karikatural zu wirken. Ob die Sopranistin K. Kadinskaja als Schemakha, N.Polyakova als Goldener Hahn, G. Pishchayev als quängelnder Astrologe , aber auch der mächtige Rundfunkchor oder das farbenreich und sinnlich auftrumpfende Orchester, alle haben Anteil an der spannungsvollen Wiedergabe.« (Der Neue Merker, Dr. Ingobert Waltenberger)

Le coq d'or (Der goldene Hahn, Oper in 3 Akten)

1 I'm a wizard. I'm endowed by occult knowledge with rare gifts (Prolog)
2 I called you to make sure everyone in the kingdom knows (1. Akt)
3 I thought all night till dawn
4 My parent, it's a pity that the much-praised mother wit was so out of place
5 Our valiant troops are full of heroic ardour
6 What a pity, one fortune-teller has died
7 Glory to the great king!
8 You can't flatter wise men with gifts
9 Ki-ri-ki! Ki-ri-ku-ku! Reign abed, your guard is true!
10 Ki-ri-ki! Ki-ri-ku-ku! Careful, be on the alert!
11 This is a war, lads! And we are in need for help
12 Ki-ri-ki! Ki-ri-ku-ku! Reign abed, your guard is true!
13 The sad tsar is sitting in the bathhouse
14 Ki-ri-ki! Ki-ri-ku-ku! Careful, be on the alert!

Disk 2 von 2 (CD)

1 The silent night whispers fears (2. Akt)
2 What a frightful picture!
3 Good gracious, a marquee!
4 Answer me, you vigilant star of day
5 Notice, what a song it is
6 I'm Queen of Shemakha, a damsel living on my own
7 How did you sleep, may I ask you?
8 I have a business to you
9 I'll throw off these prim cloths
10 Ah youth fades away so soon
11 There's an isle hanging between the sea and the sky
12 That will do, what's wrong with you? Don't cry! There's a healer for your sadness
13 I emerge first with my shawl pulled down
14 Wait! I'm exhausted!
15 Hey, the horse! Gold chariot!
16 Sisters, who's limping next to the radiant beauty?
17 It's scaring, brothers (3. Akt)
18 They're coming. Jump like goats and spin like wheels
19 Who's that in a white hat?
20 It's me, my great tsar
21 What the hell!
22 Where's the queen? She's disappeared
23 This is how the story ended (Epilog)
