Anna Netrebko, soprano & Daniel Barenboim, piano

Recorded live at the Salzburg Festival 2009

For her Salzburg recital, Anna Netrebko programmed an all Russian evening. Companioned by Daniel Barenboim's masterful, idiomatic playing, Netrebko's voluptuous voice surrenders completely to the haunting, soulful melodies of songs by Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, and others.

On that special evening in August 2009, Anna Netrebko conquered the public and the press alike: "The lovely voice takes very well to the song repertoire…" - MusicalAmerica.com.

"At the end, the entire audience in the Grosses Festspielhaus was on its feet, showering ovations on the singer . . . What a wonderful concert!" - Suddeutsche Zeitung.

"The fullness and melting warmth of Anna Netrebko's soprano and the artistry in her phrasing justify all the hype surrounding her." - Die Welt.
