Rodion Shchedrin's first opera, Not Love Alone (1961), set on a collective farm, takes a socialist-realist plot and treats it with folk-song inflections, chastushki and a lightness that kept it popular in the Soviet Union. It is the work of a composer who knew how to stay within the rules while bending them with wit.
This recording is by the forces of the Lithuanian National Opera in Vilnius under Rimas Geniušas, with Nijolė Ambrazaitytė among the cast. A two-record set on Melodiya, red labels.
