This work is certainly the best music by Rubinstein.
It is effective as a sound drama with pleasant songs and many ingenious orchestral/choral effects.
The drama is vivid and arresting.
Ivanov’s voice has a quality reminiscent of Sergei Leiferkus and he is the focus of the drama.
In this drama the beautiful Tamara, protected by an Angel, is desired by the Demon, but when she rebuffs him he conjures up a storm to kill Prince Goudal, her betrothed.
When he approaches her again she flees to a convent, but he follows her and promises to give up being bad if she will consent to be his.
The Angel grants Tamara death rather than be tempted, and the bitter Demon vows to be twice as bad from then on.
