COMMENTS:
Fantastic Russian romance album - very deep, inspiring and touchy! Love every song, voices are beautiful. Real gem!
The very talented soprano shines and blends so beautifully with the tenor and guitar ... These classical voices sing this repertoire with such ease and depth. Wonderfully interpreted and arranged.
Beautiful music and voices. A sophisticated interpretation of Russian romance songs. One can listen to this CD over and over.
Masterful music arrangements make your heart so happy and tender.
This CD features some of the best-known Russian romance classics, featuring powerful and expressive vocals in beautiful arrangements. Especially impressive are the arrangements for two voices on several tracks. These are the romance classics the way they should sound - passionate, yet intimate and wistful.
