Edward Gardner
Following outstanding reviews for his interpretation of Duke Bluebeard around the world, notably at the Paris Opera and then in Philadelphia and New York with Michelle DeYoung, John Relyea stars in the first studio SACD Surround Sound recording of Bartok's psychological thriller.
The two protagonists are joined by Edward Gardner and his Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Hungarian actor Pál Mácsai who delivers the Prologue, the work being sung in the original Hungarian.
Bartok's only opera, Bluebeard's Castle was composed in 1911 and is based on a libretto by Bela Balázs (a room-mate of Kodály), which met Bartok's desire for a subject that was modern, but drawn from traditional culture. Of their recent performance at Carnegie Hall, the critics said:
‘Ms. DeYoung's singing had radiant bloom and molten intensity, which conveyed Judith's youthful naïvete as well as her wilful determination.' - New York Times
‘Relyea was superb, … with his … firm, deep and incisive voice, he delivered a thrilling portrayal that fully displayed Bluebeard's transformation from laconic to impassioned.' – Classical Source
