Frankfurter Opern/Petersen - Peter Ev�tv�s: Tri Sestry (Three Sisters) - Live from Frankfurt

Peter E�tv�s (b. 1944) is one of the most renowned Hungarian composers and conductors of our times. The libretto for his Tri sestry (�Three Sisters�) was written by Claus H. Henneberg, together with the composer, and the opera is based on Chekhov�s 1901 play of the same name. The production is directed by conductor Dennis Russell Davies and his co-conductor, Frankfurt's Kapellmeister Nikolai Petersen. Oper Frankfurt followed the composer�s original intentions for the three sisters, casting internationally successful countertenors in the roles: American Ray Chenez as Irina, Canadian David D.Q. Lee as Mascha, and the Russian Dmitry Egorovas Olga. �All three countertenors worked conclusively and vocally differentiated the characteristic peculiarities of their character. And yet, as a trio, they were just as wonderful together.� � Bachtrack.com 5*
