Review:
Firma Melodiya continues to acquaint music lovers with the performing art of the outstanding Russian singer Hibla Gerzmava. Now that the opera diva has conquered the world's most important opera stages and considering her busy tour schedule, her recitals where she combines new numbers in her repertoire with the operatic arias and scenes she performed previously but now receiving more profound, dramatic renditions are becoming real good news.
This record is Melodiya's first new vinyl project for the last 23 years featuring music performing art of the 21st century. It includes the brightest fragments from the concert of Hibla Gerzmava and the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia conducted by Vladimir Spivakov that took place on 14 October 2013 at the Svetlanov Hall of the Moscow International House of Music. The singer performed the aria from Mozart's Vesperae solennes de confessore, Norma's cavatina and cabaletta from Bellini's opera of the same name, Desdemona's scene and prayer from Verdi's Otello, and Richard Strauss's Morgen.
