 CLASSICAL MUSIC
The 19-year-old Sergei Rachmaninoff managed to pack into the one hour of his graduation thesis opera, "Aleko," all the love-triangle elements and associated passionate arias, crowd scenes and bloody denouement that keep most operas busy for three or four times as long.
"Aleko" requires only one set, a quartet of good singers, a chorus and an orchestra, and it is full of wonderfully 19th-century Russian sonorities.
In the leading roles were four splendid singers who could also act: soprano Cristina Nassif as the passionate but unfaithful Zemphira; baritone Bryan Jackson as Aleko, her unlucky husband; tenor Issachah Savage as the young Gypsy who is the "other man"; and bass Vladimir Ekzarkhov as Zemphira's father.

Two extra bonuses are the brief but beautiful Aleko overture that begins this CD and the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.
