Overview

Russian composers created a remarkable legacy of romances, art songs influenced by the spirit of nostalgia, and passion of the Slavic soul.

Ekaterina Semenchuk, one of today’s leading mezzo-sopranos, presents an inspired selection of works from her homeland, complete with Tchaikovsky’s ‘Night’, a series of Musorgsky’s spirited songs, and Rachmaninov’s heart-breaking ‘Christ is risen’.
