Power Players Russia Arias for Bass

Product Description Power Players features the distinguished Russian bass Ildar Abdrazakov's first recording of arias from his homeland's operatic tradition. Riveting renditions of arias by Glinka, Borodin, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rubinstein, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev are included on this collaboration with Maestro Constantine Orbelian leading the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra (Lithuania) and the Kaunas State Choir. '...Ildar Abdrazakov has just about everything - imposing sound, beautiful legato...' - The Independent Review Solid and ruggedly handsome, Mr. Abdrazakov is a confident actor. Though his voice is firm and robust, he is not one of those formidable, gravelly Russian basses. He is a fine singer of Italian repertory, and his Igor has moments of Italianate lyrical refinement. He brings passion, even a touch of neediness, to his exchanges with his devoted wife, Yaroslavna, the Ukrainian soprano Oksana Dyka in her Met debut. - --Anthony Tommasini, NYTA highlight of this disc is the seductive, beautifully orchestrated aria 'In the celestial ocean' from the Lermontov-based Demon, by Anton Rubinstein [...] The part seems a natural fit for Abdrazakov. --Opera News, May 2014Starring in Borodin's "Prince Igor" at the Met this week, the Russian bass Ildar Abdrazakov is, at 37, turning his attention to Russian works. That production and this album, which moves gracefully from comic to sobering and back again, are therefore a coming-out party of sorts. His voice moves well in fast music, but it and he are developing the depth for Igor, Boris Godunov and the like. The Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra in Lithuania (not to be confused, as I first did, with the Kansas City Symphony) gives him easy, flexible support. --Zachary Woolfe, New York Times Artsbeat
