Rimsky-Korsakov: Christmas Eve Georgy Vasiliev, Julia Muzychenko, Enkeledja Shkoza, Alexey Tikhomirov, Andrei Popov, Anthony Robin

Sebastian Weigle conducts this acclaimed Oper Frankfurt production of Rimsky-Korsakov’s operatic rarity Christmas Eve. This CD version is taken from the same live performances as the DVD/Blu-ray, released in November 2022 (2.110738 and NBD0154V). Rimsky-Korsakov blends Christian and pagan elements, Ukrainian folk songs and carols, and atmospheric orchestral interludes in this vivacious and fantastical village romance.
