Russian Album (2006) more music like this

performed by Alexandr Morozov (baritone), Anna Netrebko (soprano), Dmitry Voropaev (tenor), Ilya Bannik (bass), Zlata Bulycheva (mezzo-soprano), Chorus of the Mariinsky Theatre, St. Petersberg (choir, chorus), Mariinsky (Kirov) Theater Orchestra

composed by Bedrich Smetana, Charles Gounod, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Francesco Cilea, Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, Jules Massenet, Leos Janácek, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Richard Strauss

In light of the operatic world's eagerness to project an image of hipness and currency in the early 2000s, Renée Fleming's Homage: The Age of the Diva could seem anachronistic or reactionary in its unabashed celebration of the past, especially coming from an artist that released recordings of contemporary song cycles and vocal jazz in the ...
