Awards and reviews

January 2012

Margaritov draws a finely detailed performance from the Sofia National Opera Orchestra. The singing is pretty good too...But the real test of a great Khovanshchina is its electrifying last act. Margaritov builds the tension effectively: you can sense the advance of the tsar’s army in the way the marching theme becomes more insistent and the trumpets louder. But the final, horrifying immolation scene fails, as it were, to catch fire.
