“A marvellously rich programme recorded by Russian music's exiled royal couple. Vishnevskaya's voice is still forceful but often squally in this 1991 recording; but their intense feeling for these classic 19th-century songs is unique and moving.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2009 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Tchaikovsky: Secular Choruses
The Moscow Academy of Choral Singing, Victor Popov In the field of choral music Tchaikovsky is known as the first Russian composer to have composed cycles of the Liturgy and the Vespers, but his considerable output of secular choral music is less well-known, and a delightful surprise. These secular choruses are little jewels, written for various types of choir, with all the familiar qualities of melody and rich harmony that we associate with Tchaikovsky. Some, including Autumn, Child’s Song and A Legend (from 16 Children’s Songs Op.54), and the pastoral Dawn were written for solo voice or duet, and Night, a vocal quartet with piano, but Tchaikovsky soon realised that they sounded better as choruses. Autumn and Child’s Song both have a tenor solo, and contrast well with each other: a misty autumnal poem of lethargic melancholy and a comical, playful little ditty. Another highlight is the melancholy Old French Air, with its timeless charm, which also appears as a minstrel’s song in Tchaikovsky’s opera The Maid of Orleans. Other works of note include the radiant Nature and Love, a sentimental trio for soprano, mezzo and contralto, three-part female chorus and piano, and the meditative nocturne Before Sleep, composed in his student years. Greeting to Anton Rubinstein is an extraordinary seven part piece written for the 50th anniversary of Rubinstein’s career. The Nightingale is without a doubt Tchaikovsky’s finest achievement in choral music, a magnificent reconstruction of a folk song. The vocal quartet Night is a tribute to Mozart, who Tchaikovsky idolised, and is an arrangement of the middle section of Mozart’s Fantasy in C minor for piano. The finale, Neapolitan Air, is a little choral divertissement whose tune was derived from Swan Lake. | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 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 $21.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
