Borodin & Tchaikovsky, Dargomyzhsky, Glinka, Musorgsky: Songs by Glinka, Dargomyzhsky, Musorgsky, Borodin & Tchaikovsky

marvellously rich programme recorded by Russian music’s exiled royal couple. Vishnevskaya’s voice is still forceful but often squally in this 1991 recording; but their intense feeling for these classic 19th-century songs is unique and moving. Michael Scott Rohan
