4 stars This Maid is a welcome arrival!!
"The Maid of Orleans" is one of those operas that has seldom been performed outside of Russia until lately and this DVD should give it some of the recognition that it deserves. The music is luscious and melodic although I have heard criticisms by some who think it is too bombastic and over the top but that is what French Grand opera is all about. Tchaikovsky's music is charged with emotion and it is very descriptive of the action. This performance is excellent where both the singers and the orchestra are first rate. My only criticisms were that this performance omitted the ballet and the final scene of the opera was not very convincing or presented in a way that concurred with Tchaikovsky's descriptive writing.

Maid Of Orleans review
DVD $32.59  4 stars
Often eclipsed in the opera canon by Weber's masterpiece, DER FREISCHUTZ, EURYANTHE is a stunning, experimental work, highly representative of the composer's romantic nature. Inspired by a 13th Century legend, the story tells of a virtuous title character who is wrongly accused of betraying her lover. Entirely set to music and devoid of the Italianisms glimpsed in Weber's other works, the opera seeks to overcome the traditional opposition of spoken and sung parts, as well as recitative and closed numbers. Truly original and often breathtakingly beautiful, this quintessential romantic opera is presented here under the eminent direction of Pier Luigi Pizzi, and interpreted by a cast of specialists in German opera. Elena Prokina, Jolana Fogasova, Yikun Chung, and andreas Scheibner star in this Weber opera with Gerard Korsten conducting the Orchestra e Coro del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari.
