This exciting new recording of chamber vocal works from one of the grand masters of Russian music – Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov – comprises a selection of 24 Romances. It includes both well-known and rarely-heard outstanding examples of his oeuvre, all of which are at least on a par with his compatriots Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov. Vibrant and moving performances are given by two alumni of the prestigious Royal Opera House Jette Parker Young Artists Programme – Armenian Soprano Anush Hovhannisyan (who recently represented her country in Cardiff Singer of the World Competition) and Ukrainian Baritone Yuriy Yurchuk (House Principal at Royal Opera House). Accompanied by pianist Sergey Rybin, an established specialist in the field of Russian music who also writes the extensive notes for the booklet, this disc is a treasure trove of Russian art song.
