About

This 2CD set includes all Nicolai Ghiaurov's Russian recital material – in opera, art song and popular/folk song – for Decca, from the stunningly recorded 1962 and 1964 Russian arias with the LSO and Edward Downes and the recital of art songs by Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Glinka, Rubinstein and Dargomizhsky with his first wife Zlatina Ghiaurov.

For thirty years, from 1960 to 1990, Nicolai Ghiaurov was an indispensable figure on the international operatic scene. His voluminous base, incisive delivery and imposing presence meant that he was in demand in every centre of opera. His range of roles stretched from Mozart and Rossini through Verdi and Puccini and many parts in the French nineteenth-century repertory to the rewarding roles written for basses in Russian opera.

Avuncular and a great colleague on stage, Ghiaurov also made a record with a traditional Russian ensemble. It includes the song Stenka Razin, which later achieved mass popularity in its Seekers hit 'The Carnival Is Over'.

‘the Bulgarian bass shows himself a mighty master of the long, weighty phrase. […] The recording is strong, the accompaniment by Edward Downes most helpful. A fine record of a ‘new’ and noble basso’ - Gramophone, May 1963 (Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky arias: CD 1: 1–5)

‘considerable stature and presence and that rolling majestical gravity in the voice … The recording is exceptionally vivid’ - Gramophone, March 1965 (Glinka, Rubinstein, Tchaikovsky, Borodin: CD 1: 6–9)
