I thought Vishnevskaya was great, but this is pure poetry to my ears. I am a native Russian speaker and have read the book - this is beyond description! Thank you for keeping this beautiful piece of art alive!!
CharlotteinWeimar-I totally agree. This is one of the finest performed arias of any kind and in any language-ever. IMHO Vishnevskaya did not compare to Oda,and only the Russian born Rita Streich is in her class.
Such a beautiful, velvety, expressive voice! So grateful to you for sharing this.
