Description: Russian song is rare enough on disc; Rubinstein's œuvre is true Records International material! Only Glinka and Dargomyzhsky preceded him in this new genre and Rubinstein follows them in creating both lyrical, heartfelt and melodious pieces for domestic use and more declamatory, dramatic pieces in the style of the lied. Transliterated Russian-English texts. Mila Shkirtil (mezzo), Mikhail Lukonin (baritone), Yuri Serov (piano).
