what a voice , what a temperament ..a voice of rare beauty and expression ..the only Russian soprano of whom i loved so much the voice and wished many times to be a mezzo and not a soprano...old stories these , i know it, but ... ..i do also have old recordings with Obukhova and through her voice revives a whole lost era ...
The hapiness is mine that i found out your amazing channel , which is full of old , lovely , unforgotten songs from my beloved Russia , Poland and Ukrainia ! Большое тебе Спасибо !
Thank you for posting this. What a great talent, she deserves to be better known.
Maybe 30 years ago I heard a recording of a concert she gave in her 70's - her voice was incredibly beautiful and her technique was still solid. Thanks again for posting.
She is my favorite singer.I am very glad she has sensitive foreign listeners!

Obukhova had a voice and emotive
expressivity in a class by themselves!
She could inspire joy in one breath,
despair in another! She understood
the secret language of the heart and
used her magnificent voice and musi-
cal artistry as the key to unlock its
mysteries! She sings the true mean-
ing of the composer's intentions that
transcends the limitations of any language. A precious gem...thank you!

It's a satisfaction when an old record
found in an old drawer bears traces
of immortal, great art and may move
the listener of present time.
Thanks to you !

This should be required listening for young singers so they can understand that personality can be sooooooooooooooo magical.
What a voice and performence
Thanks-John

The Russian Opera Singers of that era were on a par if not exceeding those at the Metropolitan Opera.

She was said to have had that great sound until her last days; she sang very long and started recording rather late - 1937.

I have an LP she made in the late 1950's and she is equally impressive.
