As always, exceptionally beautiful
After putting out the standard Puccini/Verdi arias albums, Netrebko has released two stunning albums of Russian songs. Yes, she has a language advantage over the majority of singers of this repertoire, but the nuances and beauty of her voice shine through, as no other soprano. It is also a treat to hear these songs, adequately accompanied by Barenboim, because they are not recorded that often. Since childhood I have been a sucker for ‘Songs My Mother Taught Me’ (Dvorak), and it brought tears to my eyes to hear her sing it. She is an exceptional artist in all respects.
