- Mikhail Glinka is the undisputed creator of Russian opera. His masterpiece,
Ruslan and Lyudmila, was called by Tchaikovsky the "Tsar of operas."
However, the opera is rarely performed because the forces required are so vast.
Now the Kirov Opera and Valery Gergiev bring us their new production of this
fantastic tale of love and magic.
- Since the opera must be SEEN as well as heard, Philips Classics is making
a special offer for a limited time only. A special packaging was created which
not only holds the CD-set but also an absolutely FREE VHS cassette of the complete
opera.
