Product Description Filled with beauty, passion and drama, these Russian songs and arias go straight to the heart of the nation's 19th century musical soul. Rachmaninov's popular Vocalise is part of a line which includes songs of love and sadness such as Tchaikovsky's Op. 47, two of which are included here, while yearning melodies, high drama and vivid orchestral colour are to be found in the operas of all three featured composers. Montserrat Caballé has described soprano Dinara Alieva's rare talent as 'the gift of Heaven'. Review "Basing my knowledge of Alieva's singing solely on this recital, I find her voice genuinely interesting, on every track. She and the well-supporting New Russian Symphony Orchestra under Dmitry Yablonsky are clearly recorded." --International Record Review, July 2013 Alieva clearly has a lot going for her.she adds some bite to the tone of the Russian repertory, which arguably suits her even better. --Opera, Dec'14
