Joan Rodgers (soprano) & Malcolm Martineau (piano) Few Russian composers could resist setting verses by Alexander Pushkin, and his influence on the development of Russian music was indirectly as great as his influence on literature. This collection demonstrates the compelling power of the poet, and the beauty of the music he inspired. It is performed by Joan Rodgers, herself an acknowledged master of Russian repertoire, and Malcolm Martineau. “To the gentlest songs… Rodgers brings as much gracefulness and subtlety as ever, and timbre as exquisitely fragrant and fine-grained.” BBC Music Magazine, Christmas 2009 **** “A treasure trove of Russian song that will reward repeated listening for years.” Gramophone Magazine, November 2009 |

Anna Samuil (soprano), Alfredo Daza (baritone) & Matthias Samuil (pianist) To commemorate the centenary of one of Russian’s greatest composers, this CD highlights a combination of the best known and rarest songs by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov [1844 - 1908]. Bringing their exquisite vocal talents to these songs are a Russian diva Anna Samuil and a rising star, Mexican baritone Alfredo Daza. “Anna Samuil did the role proud. The Russian soprano pulled out all the stops… Her voice was broad, full-bodied and effortless and was matched by skillful acting… ” San Francisco Chronicle “[Alfredo] Daza brings out dramatic tones, drawing out the man’s anger: all done musically… Judged from his work here, Daza should be better known.” International Record Review | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Anna Netrebko (soprano) & Daniel Barenboim (piano) Anna Netrebko’s first live solo album and first Lieder album is accompanied by star conductor/pianist Daniel Barenboim. This was the concert event of the Salzburg Festival 2009 and your first Deutsche Grammophon priority of the year. For her Salzburg recital, Anna Netrebko programmed an all Russian evening. Companioned by Barenboim’s masterful, idiomatic playing, Anna’s voluptuous voice surrenders completely to the haunting, soulful melodies of songs by Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, and others. On the heels of her successful Russian Album – more than 270,000 copies sold and still selling strong – In the Still of Night is certain to soar. |
