Thank you so much for posting this! Lev Kuznetsov is one of my favourite singers. Outside of his native Russia he is not as famous as he deserves to be.

Galina Kalinina's voice is also exquisite.

I have ordered this DVD. Really looking forward to it!!

Galina Kalinina is one of the world's great sopranos - it's about time we have access to her art. Her voice has a creamy, dreamy quality - always beautiful, tasteful and expressive.

She also sings the lead in Rimsky-Korsakov's Invisible City of Kitezh - a uniquely gorgeous performance; it's a pity and a mystery that it's out of print, unavailable.

She has a too brief appearance as Xenia in a video of Boris Godunov with Nesterenko. She's the highlight of the entire performance.
