"does not compute"

Wow - I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who don't understand the language. To me, Bluebeard's Castle is one of Bartok's most atmospheric and interesting works, and I like to think that I know the work pretty well - I played the rehearsals for a production of the opera done at Stanford in the 70's. Sorry I missed the production that Robert saw. I did see the SF symphony do this work sometime in the 80's, but it was strictly a concert performance. The most striking thing about it IMHO was the size of the voice of Katalin Kasza, who sang Judith - very impressive indeed, and I was not prepared for it on the basis of her recording of the role with Ferencsik conducting on a Hungaroton LP.
I also used to have the video laser disc with Solti conducting, with Sylvia Sass singing Judith. I think this was a production where they took a pre-existing recording and mimed the action. That didn't bother me in the least - Sass was such a babe in her day!
