REVIEW ''Dmitri Tcherniakov in Berlin has chosen to mirror the capitalist excesses of our own day and does so with tireless attention to detail, playing everything in the naturalistic style of a TV movie located in hotel lobbies and gaming rooms… Kristine Opolais as Polina and especially Mischa Didyk as Alexei both look and sound well... Strongly recommended.'' --Gramophone (DVD of the Month)
Barenboim's crystal -clear pacing of the score is hard hitting rather than quicksilvery,but the the blue- lit look of it all-Tchernaikov designed it,too-works well. BBC Music DVD choice Performance ***** Picture and Sound ***** --BBC Music magazine,june 2010
