Oda Slobodskaya "So soon forgotten"

[Kievest]

Fluent in the language of the heart and eloquently conversant in the nuances of the

romantic soul, Slobodskaya sings the interior landscape of Tchaikovsky's song

as if every timeless, eternal feeling defines her own life and experience. She

could tear out one's heart with a velvet glove and sound so spontaneous in

each mercurial flight of fancy. Thank you, George, for your poetic translation,

and to you, Yvonne, for posting this cornucopia of pearls from the art of Oda

Slobodskaya!

Wonderful singing and interpretation. The protagonist's inner world is unraveled through her tonal colours and shadings. Thank you for this and many other lovely gems for this great singer.

So soon forgotten! All my happiness in life has gone. All our meetings, our caresses - so soon forgotten! Do you remember our love, our dreams, those quarrels one unhappy night? All forgotten...dear God!

Such an expressive voicality; despite not understanding the language, the feeling is perfectly clear. Very moving. Thank you for this wonderful gift!
