This set was recorded live at performances of Opera Australia’s production of Rusalka at the Sydney Opera House in March 2007, with Richard Hickox conducting and Cheryl Barker in the title role. Dvorák’s last opera, Rusalka is based in part on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Little Mermaid. The Australian’s reviewer commented: ‘Hickox and the orchestra capture its sudden changeability and dramatic force, elegantly shaping the luscious, sweeping melodies while inflecting the intoxicating, folk music-inspired rhythms with grace and bite.’ Cheryl Barker is joined by Rosario La Spina, Elizabeth Whitehouse, Bruce Martin and Anne-Marie Owens.
"A final choice must remain marginal, but anyone who wants a new-minted version of one of the most magical of all operas – with the harp signalling the otherworldly magic of Rusalka as Water nymph, more atmospherically recorded than on Decca – this new Chandos version makes an excellent choice." (Editor's Choice / Gramophone)
