This 1955 Eugene Onegin is so overrated
This is the classic Onegin and there’s much to love, especially from Khaikin‘s sensitive conducting and Lemeshev‘s ideal Lensky.

But Belov‘s Onegin is adequate at best, and although everyone raves about Vishnevskaya‘s Tatyana I’ve always found her too weighty for the role. I adore her passion in the final scene, but to me she’s not convincing as the yearning innocent of the first Act.
