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. “Russian songs and romances may not be Barenboim’s usual repertoire, but he presents the accompaniments subtly, and with selfless generosity. More surprisingly, these superstars work very well as a team...Netrebko’s voice, fuller in tone than it has been before, dapples these miseries of love with nicely varied colours and intoxicating shots of high drama” The Times, 2nd April 2010 **** “Barenboim’s playing is exquisitely sensitive and imaginative throughout” The Telegraph, 7th April 2010 “it's a pleasure to find that [Netrebko] hasn't - unlike some other Russian singers - lost touch with her native repertoire; and not just the well-known bits...she has this music in her bones, making it a delightful recital, with agreeable Dvorak and Strauss encores.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2010 ***** “Netrebko’s supremacy in her native song repertoire can’t be challenged today...She seems to have enriched and enlarged her palette of tone colours since the birth of her son. I guess she is at her absolute peak, vocally...[Barenboim's] playing is a luxury beyond price.” Sunday Times, 2nd May 2010 ***** “[Netrebko has] a wonderfully full, firm and creamy voice, and she effectively varies the emotional pressure from one song to the next, encompassing humour and ecstasy as well as warmth and sympathy.” Gramophone Magazine, June 2010 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Rimsky-Korsakov - Angel & Demon
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. |

Soprano superstar Anna Netrebko steps away from the operatic stage to create her most personal and intimate album yet. Souvenirs is a gorgeous collection of short and sparkling pieces that allow Anna to display her amazing voice and temperament “This recording is like a bridal bouquet, bursting with variety and colours,” says Anna Netrebko. “I want it to create a wonderful array of emotions – passion, fun, love, tenderness.” The album includes repertoire from all over the world: songs in French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Latin, Czech, Yiddish, Spanish and – of course – Russian. These are pieces that are very close to Anna’s heart and include treasures by Dvorák, Grieg, Carlos Guastavino, Reynaldo Hahn, Offenbach, Richard Strauss, as well as rarely performed songs by Rimsky-Korsakov. For this special project, Anna is accompanied by conductor Emmanuel Villaume and the Prague Philharmonia. Villaume is well-known as the director of the Spoleto Festival (USA) and is a regular guest at major opera houses such as the Teatro La Fenice and the Met. He has previously worked with Anna in concert and is a perfect match for her passionate artistry. On this album Anna Netrebko has a few stunning guests to partner with her: Elina Garanca for Offenbach's Barcarole, Andrew Swait for Andrew Lloyd Webber's “Pie Jesu” (Requiem), Piotr Beczala for Heuberger's “Im Chambre Séparée”. Stunningly talented, gorgeous and intelligent, Netrebko already has the music world at her feet making this one of THE albums of 2008, eagerly awaited by her legions of fans as well as all music lovers worldwide. Cap Box / Limited Edition: This will be the perfect Christmas gift package for the fans. It will have CD + booklet, bonus DVD, postcards and poster. A MUST HAVE! | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Although the fireworks of Arditi's "Il bacio" bring the disc to an exuberant finish, the introspective songs fare best.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2008 “In this lightweight collection of songs and arias from opera, operetta and zarzuela, the Russian star soprano sticks mainly to slow-tempo numbers. Richly coloured and in top condition, her voice exhibits a mezzo-like warmth in such pieces as 'Meine Lippen, sie küssen so heiss' from Lehár's Giuditta or 'Depuis le jour' from Charpentier's Louise. It is indeed an exceptional instrument.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2009 *** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
