Info zu Russian Light

Für ihr Rossini-Album wurde die Sopranistin Olga Peretyatko 2016 mit einem Echo Klassik ausgezeichnet. Und an den großen Opernhäusern der Welt bewundert das Publikum sie für ihre musikalische Vielseitigkeit und ihr darstellerisches Talent.

Mit ihrer neuen Aufnahme "Russian Light" widmet sich Olga Peretyatko dem russischen Repertoire. Die aus St. Petersburg stammende Sängerin hat einen wahren Schatz an selten zu hörenden schönen Arien aus Opern wichtiger russischer Komponisten ausgesucht und mit dem Ural Philharmonic Orchestra unter Leitung von Dmitry Liss eingespielt: von Glinka erklingt die "Kavatina der Ljudmila", von Korsakow Arien aus Opern wie "Der goldene Hahn", "Schneeflöckchen" oder "Sadko", von Strawinsky "Le Rossignol" und von Schostakowitsch Operettenlieder aus dem Werk "Moskau, Tscherjomuschki".

Abgerundet wird das Programm von ausgewählten Orchesterliedern Sergej Rachmaninows, darunter auch die berühmte, sanft dahingleitende "Vocalise". Ein facettenreiches Album, welches durch seine Mischung aus wenig bekannten und berühmten musikalischen Juwelen eine Reise durch die russische Musik ermöglicht und durch die besondere Auswahl der Werke angenehm hörbar ist.

„[…] Die Petersburgerin packt dramatisch zu, gibt den unterschiedlichen Charakteren auf Russian Light ebensolche Farben und Allüre.“ (Rondo)
