		As with A Life for the Tsar, Ruslan employs some aspects of Russian folk music; it is also noted for imaginative use of dissonance, chromaticism, whole tone scales, and Eastern elements.
		Ruslan comes upon the cave of the kindly wizard Finn, who tells him that the evil sorcerer Chernomor has absconded with Lyudmila and that Ruslan is the man who will destroy him.

		In fact, "Ruslan and Ludmilla" was Balakirev's bible and generations of composers after the 1880s understood the importance of Glinka's work for the sake of Russian art thanks largely to Balakirev (although "A Life for the Tsar" was the first to use Russian folksongs).
		Ruslan himself has an adventure confronting an enormous head that is the brother of Chernomer that is guarding a sword that was predicted to be the weapon that would kill Chernomer.
		This is a dream cast with Anna Netrebko as Lyudmila, Vladamir Ognovienko as Ruslan, Galina Gorchakova as Gorislava, the lover of Ratmir, Larissa Diadkova as Ratmir and Konstantin Pluzhnikov as Finn.

		Finally through the aid of her fiancé Ruslan's bravery and the help of a good sorcerer, they can be happily married.
		Lyudmila's two disappointed suitors Ratmir and Farlaf are sung respectively by an underpowered Zlata Bulychova (unfortunate because her character has some superb extended scenes) and an engaging Fedor Kuznetsov (effective in spite of applying his baritone to a low bass role).
		On the evil side, Mahamadali Tadzhiev is animated as Lyudmila's dwarf captor Chernomor, while Irina Bogachova stole the show with her mighty contralto and vivacious characterization whenever she was onstage.

		In a crowd of a mighty son And faithful friend in his hall’s lure, Vladimir-sun was feasting there — His child Lyudmila, young and fair, Was marring prince Ruslan, the bravest — And from a cup, biggest and heaviest, The sire was drinking to young pair.
		Ruslan was pined in whole silence, Having lost almost of his mind; And looking at them all in askance, Akimbo in the vainly kind And loftiness — Pharlaph was riding.
		O prince Ruslan, you’ve lost Lyudmila: Your manly heart is in a thrilling; But the sad trice will soon pass by — Your lot is bad just for a while.

		Ruslan and Lyudmila did not repeat the triumph of A Life for the Czar, mainly because of its dramatic weaknesses.
		Lyudmila, daughter of the Grand Duke of Kiev, is engaged to marry the knight Ruslan, but at the feast celebrating their betrothal, she is abducted by the evil dwarf Chernomor.
		The energetic initial idea, with its rocketing scale passages, derives from the very last scene; the broader and more lyrical second subject is that of Ruslan’s big aria in the second act of the opera.

		Glinka's opera Ruslan and Lyudmila is a rather odd choice for Pentatone to choose for an audio surround recording, particularly as this performance, recorded April 2003, can't match the Philips recording made in 1995 issued on stereo CD shortly thereafter (456 248) and now available on DVD in 5.1 sound.

	CONTEXT - This Week in Arts and Ideas from The Moscow Times
		With "Ruslan and Lyudmila," a fully staged version of Kolobov's abridged arrangement of the opera that the company formerly performed as a costumed concert piece, Novaya Opera has come up with a real winner.
		Despite its marvelous parade of melodies, a full-length "Ruslan and Lyudmila" of four hours and more can prove a trying experience for even the most devoted of opera lovers.
		Pushkin's lengthy poem, centering on the convoluted search by Ruslan, a knight of ancient Kiev, for his abducted bride, Lyudmila, was meant as a spoof of conventional fairy tales.

		Spirited away by the evil sorcerer Chernomor, Lyudmila awaits her rescue from her beloved Ruslan.
		However, before he can effect her release, the gallant Ruslan must first endure all the trials and tribulations that the malevolent world can throw at him.
		Full of daring adventures, and peopled with a remarkable collection of magical – and monstrous – characters, the resulting epic is a brilliantly ironic retelling of the medieval fairytale world of swashbuckling knights and damsels in distress.

		RandL is the story of the beautiful Lyudmila's marriage to Ruslan after rejecting two other suitors, Ratmir (oddly sung by a mezzo-soprano) and Farlaf.
		Lyudmila is abducted by the evil sorcerer Chernomor and the rest of the opera tells of efforts to rescue her before the inevitable happy reunion in the final scene of Act V. It's a long opera including an extended ballet interlude in Act III.
		As a dubious bonus we have Introducing Ruslan, an 18-minute rather boring explanation by Gergiev of the opera and its origin, and an hour feature on the conductor and his international career, which shows that humility is not part of his way of life.

		Glinka's operas were the starting point for the 19th-century Russian operatic tradition, and Ruslan and Lyudmila remains a cornerstone of the repertory in that country.
		This Bolshoy performance, recorded in the theatre a year ago, has a sense of confidence and familiarity about it, with clean orchestral sound and thankfully little of the stage noise that usually accompanies live recordings of a work as chorus-heavy as this one.
