Philharmonia of Russia conducted by Constantine Orbelian. Great scenes from 'Queen of Spades' captures the essence of the opera in a one-CD version with scenes chosen to represent the music, drama and characterization that make the opera memorable. Amelia Haygood, Delos label founder & Executive Producer: "I've loved 'Queen of Spades' for most of my life, and have long thought it should be up there among the all-time favorites. So it's a deep joy for me to present the drama and poignancy of Tchaikovsky's music at the high artistic level our singers, conductor and orchestra have achieved here. Unlike 'highlights' excerpts, or a collection of arias, this 'Great Scenes' version is meant to preserve the flow of the opera's story of love, obsession and madness. "
