Ashkenazy / Moscow Conservatory Opera Soloists - Monna Vannan Songs - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Leonard Slatkin's Vox recordings of Rachmaninoff's orchestral works revealed him to be a great advocate for this composer's music - a position he still holds to this day. These recordings with the St. Louis Symphony achieved classic status upon in the early 1980s. This is the seventh issue with these artists in the Vox series of Rachmaninoff's orchestral works newly remastered from the original tapes. The Elite Recordings for Vox by legendary producers Marc Aubort and Joanna Nickrenz are considered by audiophiles to be amongst the finest sounding examples of orchestral recordings.

Naxos has released a second collection of Russian tenor arias by Vladimir Grishko. Like the first volume, we have a beautiful tenor voice treating us to some rarely heard arias from operas not often performed outside of Russia. Probably the only familiar pieces to non-Russian listeners would be the brief orchestral excerpts from Glinka's A Life For Tsar and Polovtsian March from Borodin's Prince Igor so listening is a treat in and of itself.
