Title: Yes, the Stepan Razin is lifeless, but the Oratorio is worth it
Product review: I too would like to see the old Melodiya recording reissued in CD format. I fell in love with it after finding it in the local university library. Nothing else comes close to its emotional impact. When I listen to Stepan Razin, I certainly do not listen to this uninspired recording. But this Pathetic Oratorio, my first taste of Sviridov, is truly moving, and redeems the entire CD.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
