Verdi: Aida (In Russian)
Voloshesku, Zobian, Palli, Morozov; Grikurov
Kirov, 1956
$9.95
Description:
This performance offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Italian opera behind the Iron Curtain. Despite the political and cultural barriers of the time, the passion, discipline, and stylistic authenticity on display here rival those of more widely documented performances from the West.
Maria Voloshesku is a stunning Aida, singing with a glowing, expressive tone and remarkable emotional range. She captures the quiet vulnerability of the character as effectively as the soaring climaxes, delivering a performance that is both vocally commanding and dramatically affecting.
