28th August 2009
Nicolai Gedda and Yuri Mazurok are not the most youthful sounding Onegin and Lensky you've ever heard, but they are wonderfully expressive singers, and Gedda's account of Lensky's second act aria is matchless; Anna Tomowa-Sintow's Tatyana has her matronly moments too, yet perfectly measures her transformation from youthful impulsiveness to responsible adulthood.
