Digital Booklet
|
|||||
"Sitkovetsky sings with real passion, and is emotive … she is duly ecstatic in ‘Spring Waters’ and she hits the top notes of ‘How fair this spot’ with beautiful shading of dynamics. Vignoles is at his finest in the shimmering piano colours of ‘Lilacs’, a gorgeous performance."
- Gramophone
Rachmaninov’s songs all date from the first half of his artistic life, before he left post-revolutionary Russia. They are exquisite, and this recital from Julia Sitkovetsky and Roger Vignoles includes some of the finest, culminating with the much-loved Vocalise.
