  • The Heifetz of Russian opera and song! Always unique and unforgettable, her

    interpretive skills have never failed her and Vishnevskaya remains a true diva

    who deserves every superlative imaginable. Her Ophelia is poignant, unsettling,

    and adrift on a sea of madness. Rostropovich is superb! Thank you for posting

    this rarely heard treasure!

  • Gorgeous!
