Anna Netrebko’s first live solo album and first Lieder album is accompanied by star conductor/pianist Daniel Barenboim. This was the concert event of the Salzburg Festival 2009, Anna Netrebko programmed an all Russian evening.
Companioned by Barenboim’s masterful, idiomatic playing, Anna’s voluptuous voice surrenders completely to the haunting, soulful melodies of songs by Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, and others.
On the heels of her successful Russian Album – more than 270,000 copies sold worldwide and still selling strong – In the Still of Night is certain to soar.
