#2 Kaia Urb - Russian Romantic Songs


Russian Romantic Songs

I was given this as a gift a couple of years (or more) ago and thought 'oh, that's nice', whereupon I shoved it on iTunes and my iPod swallowed it forever. Spotted it the other day and put it to one side to listen to.

Other than Tchaikovsky and Glinka I've never heard of most of the composers. There are 19 selections in all, accompanied by Heiki Matlik on guitar (4 of the tracks are solo guitar pieces).

It's a lovely, simple album full of beautiful tunes and it's a real shame I've not listened to it more. This is exactly the point of Disc of the Day though so it's working. There might yet be a 3rd disc today (or I might just listen to this one again!)
