Anna Netrebko - The Tsar's Bride.





I first became aware of the beautiful Russian soprano, Anna Netrebko, when I saw her in a performance of Ruslan and Lyudmila which was broadcast some years ago, on BBC2, from the Kirov opera in St. Petersburg.  Since then she has become famous throughout the world of opera. In this recording which is conducted by Valery Gergiev, she is singing an aria from the Tsar's Bride, by Rimsky Korsakov.
