Music / MP3 CD / Romances

Vertinsky's decadent elegance, Kozin's piercing lyrical warmth, Nechayev and Obraztsova in the classical repertoire: the vocal romance is poetry brought to its fullest life. Glinka wrote them, Tchaikovsky wrote them, Rachmaninoff wrote them. Each one is a small world of private feeling, performed with a directness that leaves nowhere to hide. A tradition that rewards every listening.
