Chekhov's famous tragicomedy as an opera
"Tri Sestri" - "Three Sisters" - is one of the best-known stage works by the Russian playwright Anton Chekhov. The Hungarian composer Peter Eötvös has turned Chekhov's tragicomedy into an opera which, after its premiere in 1998, became a much-played worldwide success. Now OehmsClassics is releasing a live recording of the Frankfurt Opera. In the hands of conductor Dennis Russell Davies, Eötvös' music is in the best of hands, his singing achievements are outstanding.
