Ten Shakespeare Sonnets and Other Russian Romances


"This is Shakespeare with an immediacy that we have not heard before... The contribution of Amaize's accompanist, David Korevaar, is critical to the songs in this recital, especially the romantic era songs in which the piano often sets the mood of the song or extends at the end it beyond the printed text after the voice is silent."
