you have non natives singing it :). Bartok, at least for me, is the most interesting composer of the 20th century. I consume large quantities of his music on a regular basis, trust me i tried to like Bluebeard's but i cannot get to the end of it without getting annoyed with the repetitiveness of the lyrics and the story line is not very very entertaining....I felt many times i would have an easier time with this if it was sung in Armenian, maybe .... and also there is this thing; i cannot stand opera as a form of classical music, all is good till they start singing :) then i have to skip those parts, then it is over and i did not enjoy much of it. Based on those two facts you have to take my criticism of this piece with a very very large block of salt.
