Description:

This is a definitive recording by a renowned Russian composer who fully expresses his nationalistic sentiments. The flexible weak tones, expressive strong tones, seamless form, natural rise of emotion, and melancholy beauty in the singing. This is a mature and masterful performance created with conviction and composure. Warner Music Japan
