		Rachmaninoff conducted the premiere of Francesca da Rimini and Skupoy Ritsar at the Bolshoi theatre in January of 1906.

		As Francesca, she threw herself into the part with the gusto and intensity that is hers alone.

		Whereas Tristan and Isolde choose death before dishonor, Francesca and Paolo give in to their urges at the first opportunity, and their deaths are not transcendent but sordid.

		Tchaikovsky had once considered the idea of an opera on the Francesca da Rimini story, one of the most famous in the whole of Dante´s Inferno.
		This never materialised, but the presentation of love as infinitely attractive yet associated with sin had its usual strong appeal to him, and his lifelong sense of present misery and lost felicity found an echo in Francesca´s much quoted lines about there being no greater grief than the memory of happiness in time of sorrow.
		The opening music, sombre and heavy, suggests Dante´s Gate of Hell and its dreadful inscription, "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here," the Allegro vivace the ceaseless buffeting of the winds of the Second Circle where the souls of the lustful lie in torment.

		The story of Paolo and Francesca was first immortalized in Dante's Inferno, where Francesca was doomed to spend eternity in the second circle of hell.
		Francesca herself tells Dante the story of how she was married by proxy to the hunchbacked Gianciotto Malatesta, but fell in love with the proxy, his younger brother Paolo.
		Nicole Lorange, as Samaritana, Francesca's sister, seems a little overmatched by the material and delivers her performance quite weakly.

	Classical Music :: The Classical Source :: Chelsea Opera Rachmaninov Double Bill :: Classical Music
		In its concentration of mood and scoring, abetted by the resourceful use of an all-male cast, The Miserly Knight remains an arresting work; and more overtly Rachmaninovian than its companion — a treatment of Francesca da Rimini on whose libretto Tchaikovsky’s younger brother Modest laboured at length and with by no means satisfactory results.
		The operas were cast from strength — though pride of place must go to Vassily Savenko, as adept in the arioso of The Miserly Knight as in the rhetoric of Francesca da Rimini, and singing with clarity and expressive nuance at all times.
		Impressive too was Felix Krieger, conducting both operas as though they were repertory works pure and simple, and galvanising the Chelsea Opera Group to the extent that, some thinness of string tone aside, no allowances were needed for the ’ad hoc’ nature of the orchestra.

		It is incidental to note that there have not been any recent recordings of Tchaikovsky symphony cycles in recent months so BIS have taken a bold step in issuing what appears to be a complete traversal of these oft recorded works under Jose' Serebrier.
		The accompanying 'Francesca da Rimini' is also superb and here I would place Serebrier on top of a pedestal of great interpretations of this piece alongside Järvi, Britten and the irrepressible Markevitch on BBC Legends.
