The opera director Krzysztof Warlikowski has created something unique with his enthralling diptych. His undertaking to merge the two one-act-operas Le Château de Barbe Bleue composed by Bartók and Poulencs La Voix Humaine, staged for the Paris Opera, has been worthwhile. Now this production, released on DVD and Blu-ray at Arthaus Musik, wins the renowned ICMA 2019 in the category "DVD Video Performance“. Featuring soloists like the exceptional Barbara Hannigan in the title role of La Voix Humaine and John Relyea as Duke Bluebeard at Bartók’s masterpiece as well as Ekaterina Gubanova, one of the best mezzo-sopranos of her generation.

For ICMA: „At first glance, the two one-act-operas La Voix Humaine and Blubeard’s Castle have no mutual musical relation. And yet, in this outstanding live recording with an extraordinary successful cast – Barbara Hannigan, John Relyea, Ekaterina Gubanova, and the Paris Opera Orchestra -, under the refined direction of Esa-Pekka Salonen, Krzysztof Warlikowski’s inspired staging reunites both works in one absolutely fascinating production.“
