Galina Vishnevskaya sings the hauting "Ophelia's Song" from Dmitri Shostakovich's "Seven Romances to Poems by Alexander Blok, Op.127". Mstislav Rostropovich plays the cello.
This vocal-instrumental suite was dedicated by the composer to the legendary soprano.
World premiere, Moscow, October 23th, 1967.
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!
