Summary: Outstanding!
Review: War and Peace is one of Prokofiev greatest works. It was written after he returned to Russia and developed a more lyrical style. This opera has some of the loveliest melodies he ever composed.This DVD from the 2000 production in Paris offers an overwhelming experience.
Olga Guryakova is an ideal Natasha. Nathan Gunn has a warm and beautiful baritone and gives a wonderful performance as Andrei Bolkonsky.
All other members of the enormous cast are impressive too. Francesca Zambello directed a highly effective and moving show.
Sound and picture quality are exemplary. Highly recommended.

Review: War and peace is the Russian opera I love most. This performance is great: singers who look their parts and sing gorgeously, and a stunning production. One of the greatest opera DVD I have seen.
Highly recommended
