Free Music Review: beauty and the beast
Hit: 5 Stars
I haven't come across statistical records of how often beauty,in a women,meets talent,but surely this is the case. Anna's voice is a mirror image of her features: clean and seductive,yet powerful. She controls the beast(that's how I would rename "lirica",as we call opera music) to her pleasure,modulating softeness and power to perfection. If performing russian opera music was intended to be a further test to her capabilities, well singing in her mother language has only confirmed her as really outstanding. Anna has added a touch of russian romanticism to the execution of this beast.Free Music Review: luscious gorgeous to die for
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm a big fan of Russian music (especially Prokofiev), and I first heard Netrebko in San Francisco when she sang Betrothal in a Monastery. Wow, she has come a long way since then. This recording is to die for. Not just for her singing which is luscious, generous, and soulful throughout, but also because here she and Gerghiev bring together many beautiful Russian arias that one rarely hears in the West. They are all gorgeous! It is a "document" of Russian soprano operatic literature, a recording whose time has come, it makes a huge contribution to the recorded literature.Free Music Review: Simply amazing
Hit: 5 Stars
Although I have purchased many books and cds from amazon over the past 10 years I have never felt compelled to review a purchase. Until now. This album which I purchased based on the reviews I read on amazon - is simply amazing. The artist has the most wonderful voice and I cannot stop playing this cd. (The only other cd that had a similar impact was the first album released by Shu Cheen Yu on the ABC (Australia) Classics label.) The "Russian Album" is destined to be a firm favourite for many years and I plan to purchase lots of copies to give to friends.Free Music Review: The best possible Netrebko
Hit: 5 Stars
No, there is nothing bland or boring here. This is certainly the best recital Anna Netrebko has given us. While singing Bellini or Verdi she can sound foreign, especially because she doesn't articulate consonants clearly, she is throughly idiomatic in her own language, and her opulent soprano has an almost Tebaldi-like purity. This is one of those few recitals that will be long-remembered. Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra are a perfect match. Do buy it.Free Music Review: Wonderful New Singer
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not a big opera fan, but love a great mix of music. So, when I saw this beautiful russian singer perform on GMA in February I couldn't resist this new CD. She is not your typical opera singer to hear her talk, and to see her perform,..shes very funny, very hip, and very stylish and looks more like a model....but she has the fabulous opera pipes of someone 3-times her size....Beautiful, beautiful voice!!
