A recital of songs by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908)
Related Artists: Anush Hovhannisyan, Yuriy Yurchuk, Sergey Rybin
Catalogue No: 5060192780772
With the exception of The Nightingale and the Rose, Rimsky’s art songs are less well known than they deserve, so it is astute of Stone to present two rising young artists in a disc entirely devoted to these beautiful Romances. The Armenian Hovhannisyan wraps her bright, sensuous soprano around this famous number, but it is the Ukrainian baritone Yurchuk’s wonderful legato and superb Russian delivery that make this collection irresistible.
