Background: Bartók primarily composed instrumental music; Duke Bluebeard's Castle was his only opera. The source for the story of Duke Bluebeard was a fairy-tale by Charles Perrault. This live recording from the 2004 BBC Proms features John Tomlinson in the lead role.

'John Tomlinson as Bluebeard rose magisterially above [the din of Bartók’s orchestra]. More importantly, he gave Bluebeard a world-weary and heart-sick tone that went straight to the heart of this strange and riveting drama' - Daily Telegraph.
