This CD could easily go in the pants, because obviously it's a "Netrebko is pregnant with baby belly may not occur, and your audience will not forget, we'd better make a fast CD" has been planned. All-clear, the CD is worth listening. Well, one has to make technical compromises - it's a life-album, and there are certainly better accompanist as Daniel Barenboim. Comes across with vocal warm timbre and a lot of color - as in her excellent and probably the best Russian Album - What ultimately convinced, Netrebko, who is here. This is the music with which they grew up, here you feel at home obviously. Nothing is cold, artificial or fake. An album of the quiet sounds. Nice to see that Netrebko shows this side of yourself.
