Description:

Dynamic Rachmaninoff by the remarkable soprano Asmik Grigorian! Asmik Grigorian, who has been enchanting audiences with her overwhelming vocal power and expressiveness at the Salzburg Festival, Bayreuth Festival, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, and other festivals, has released a solo album from ALPHA. The program is not an opera, but Rachmaninoff songs. However, she herself says, "Rachmaninoff's songs need to be expressed as powerfully as his operas. He wrote many operas that lasted only a few minutes. Her dynamic singing here is astonishing. The piano is played by Lucas Genouchas, who has won awards at the Chopin and Tchaikovsky Competitions, and has performed in the world's great concert halls. This is an album that offers a rich listening experience, allowing the listener to fully appreciate Grigorian's wide range of expressive charms. Naxos Japan
