This is the fourth CD in the “Transfigured” series featuring South African pianist Petronel Malan. She received a Grammy nomination for the first in the series, “Transfigured Bach” (HAEN98424). Here she takes us on a fascinating excursion through the songs of Tchaikovsky, transfigured by several of his distinguished compatriots. “The Feinberg transcriptions of three songs from Op. 54 show Malan at her best, played with the greater fluency and innate poetic refinement familiar from her earlier discs. This one is fine but it misses the range of the others” Gramophone Magazine, July 2012 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Tchaikovsky wrote over 100 romances, settings of short poems, which are touching and sincere. The melodies are diverse and original and the accompaniment is rich and often very independent. These compositions are performed here by some outstanding Russian vocalists. As well as those listed above, the recording includes performances by the tenor Lemshev. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Operatic superstar Dmitri Hvorostovsky has become the supreme interpreter of the Russian Romance, with its rich resource of music and poetry. In this generous program the great baritone soars vocally and plumbs emotional depths as he delivers definitive performances of a wide range of Tchaikovsky’s masterpieces. “Nearly 20 years have passed since Hvorostovsky first recorded Tchaikovsky songs...Alongside the same ineffable legato, there's still more pointing of the words and more inwardness in softer dynamics...Inevitably there's a preponderance of dark numbers; so all the more credit to this now truly great baritone for pushing the emotion with apparent sincerity and no self pity; 'To Forget so Soon' reaches remarkable dramatic heights.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2010 “...in terms of vocal quality there are some marvels to behold…” Gramophone Magazine, June 2010 | | | (also available to download from $21.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
