One of Russia's most stunning and emotionally touching nightengales! Easily
the equal of Lemeshev, Sobinov or the other tenor greats! Liquid, dreamy melody,
this music has an exotic touch showcasing the vast talent of Vinogradov's vocal and
interpretive brilliance. Thank you, Linda, for posting this rare and marvelous gem!

Ah, yes, it's about the piquancy of desire isn't it, and he captures that perfectly. Thank you so much for your marvellous comment, Kievest, and thank you, GP,. for sharing that song with us all.
