A strong voice, a bright dramatic gift, a passionate temperament, creative courage and a precise sense of a role - all these virtues are combined by the name of the unique opera singer Hibla Gerzmava, a People’s Artist of Russia and People’s Artist of the Republic of Abkhazia.

Hibla Gerzmava is an opera singer of a world scale, a remarkable actress and versatile musician. In 1994, she graduated from the Moscow Conservatory where she majored in solo singing under professors Irina Maslennikova and Evgenia Arefieva, and completed her post-graduate course under Maslennikova in 1996. Since 1995 Hibla has been a soloist of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Music Theatre in Moscow, debuting as Musetta in Puccini’s La bohème.

Today, the Russian prima donna is a guest star of the state opera houses of Vienna, Paris, Rome and Bavaria, and of the Metropolitan Opera and Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.

In 2001, Hibla Gerzmava was awarded the national theatre prize The Golden Mask and Casta Diva as the Best Singer for her Lucia in Donizetti’s 'Lucia di Lammermoor'. She is also an owner of the Moscow Prize in the field of literature and arts (2010) and Triumph Award (2011).

The distinguished violinist and conductor Vladimir Spivakov’s versatile talent has been vividly realized in many spheres of social life. In 1979, he co-founded the Moscow Virtuosi chamber orchestra with a group of musicians who shared his views and became its unchallenged artistic director, conductor and soloist. In 2003, Vladimir Spivakov became artistic director and principal conductor of the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia he created, and the president of the Moscow International House of Music.

On the initiative of Vladimir Spivakov, Hibla Gerzmava performed in Svetlanov Hall of the Moscow International House of Music on 14 October 2013, accompanied by the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia. 'Firma Melodiya' presents the program of the concert on this CD, which included both classic and less known Russian overtures, arias and scenes from operas by Mozart, Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti and Verdi.

Arsen Sogomonian, a soloist of the of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Music Theatre, and prize laureate of the Moscow International Competition 'Romansiada', also took part at the concert.

Firma Melodiya presents a jubilee release of one of the most distinguished singers of modern times - Elena Obraztsova.

Obraztsova has sung at the world’s best opera and concert houses. Her operatic heroines are known and loved by millions of listeners on different continents. She has worked with the greatest opera directors, conductors and soloists. However, the singer still considers the Bolshoi Theatre her principal operatic home, where she debuted as Marina Mniszech in Boris Godunov more than fifty years ago.

That was the time of the Bolshoi’s golden cohort, when Obraztsova’s voice and dramatic gift shone among the other outstanding representatives of Soviet music art. That was an era of the Bolshoi’s first international triumphs when the young singer, along with the other new soloists of the troupe, was receiving rousing welcomes during the tours of Italy and the United States. That was an era when the perennial traditions existed in harmony with the spirit of newness introduced by the younger artists and the experience shared with foreign peers.

The release features fragments of Russian and foreign operas which make up just a portion of Elena Obraztsova’s extensive repertoire. Still, they largely convey the main features of her performing individuality, her mastery of musical dramatic transformation making us recognize the singer’s voice on recordings from different years.

The music by Donizetti, Verdi, Saint-Saens, Bizet, Massenet, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and Mussorgsky is performed to the accompaniment of the USSR Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra conducted by the outstanding maestros Boris Khaikin, Odyssey Dimitriadi, Algis Žiūraitis and Mark Ermler.

"There were just a few names in domestic variety art that were able to rival the popularity of Muslim Magomayev whose delightful baritone, high artistry and sincere generosity have conquered more than one generation of listeners. The range of his capabilities is exceptional - from opera to musical, from Neapolitan songs to vocal works of Azerbaijani and Russian composers,” wrote musicologist Sviatoslav Belza in the preface to the singer’s book Melody, My Love.

For his art, the boundaries between the “high” and “low” genres seemed conditional and insignificant like never before - each of the pieces he sang was so near, in Magomayev style, the listeners’ hearts.

“Any operatic aria, any song he sang is always an expected miracle,” said Robert Rozhdestvensky, a poet and the singer’s fan and friend.

For many years, staying a great vocal master who was always true to himself, Muslim Magomayev successfully combined performances in the operatic genre with variety concerts. A soloist of the Azerbaijani Theatre of Opera and Ballet, he took a training course at La Scala and performed on many of the operatic stages of the former USSR but rejected (what a rare instance!) the invitation to join the company of the Bolshoi Theatre realizing the colossal responsibility that step would have entailed. He could not and did not want to sacrifice his versatility and openness, his contact with a huge audience, his concert, studio, acting and composing career even on such a resplendent operatic altar.

His recordings of Russian and foreign classical operatic music made in 1964 together with his friend and associate, outstanding Azerbaijani composer and conductor Niyazi Tagizade Hajibeyov sound today as fresh and impressive as they did then. Magomayev’s art of musical and dramatic transformation is striking, and the way he handles it is could make even the most distinguished operatic artists jealous. His sparkling and ever cheerful Figaro (that role in The Barber of Seville was his touchstone at La Scala) and Don Juan reveling in the might of his masculine magnetism; his Onegin, noble and somewhat listless but still sympathizing with the victim of girlish infatuation, and Prince Igor absorbed in gloomy thoughts whose soul is directed towards his beloved spouse; his Mefistofele inspiring with awe and despising human fears, bright and spectacular Escamillo, Rigoletto so terrifying in his despair… All his roles are marked with deep humanness making the listener empathize with each of the characters as though responding to the calling from the prologue to Pagliacci. Magomayev was one of the first Soviet artists who sang in the original language, but even that circumstance did not create a language barrier between him and his audience.

The arias from the classical operas Shah Ismayil by Muslim Magomayev-Sr and Koroghlu by Uzeyir Hajibeyov, Azerbaijani composers and founders of national academic music, are of particular interest indeed. These bright musical pages also found an outstanding interpreter in Magomayev.

“I always miss him and look forward to seeing him again, look forward to hearing and seeing what this remarkable talent carries to his numerous admirers,” actor Innokenty Smoktunovsky once wrote about Muslim Magomayev.

People will definitely look forward to new meeting with him today and many years from now as they will listen to the recordings of his favourite Mario Lanza, Maria Callas, Tito Gobbi and Frank Sinatra. Those who gave themselves unreservedly to their listeners, music and art.

Bizet:
Votre toast je peux vous le rendre 'Toreador Song' (from Carmen)
Leoncavallo:
Si può? (from I Pagliacci)
Verdi:
Vanne, la tua meta gia vedo…Credo in un Dio crudel (from Otello)

Zurab Anjaparidze - Arias and Scenes from Operas

Zurab Anjaparidze - Arias and Scenes from Operas
ID: MELCD1002373
CDs: 1
Type: CD

Firma Melodiya presents recordings of the prominent singer and soloist of the USSR Bolshoi Theatre Zurab Anjaparidze.

“For eleven years of his career on the stage of the USSR Bolshoi Theatre he was … the best Herman, the best Radames, the best José. Whatever the singer undertook, he created, and id it in a thorough, unhurriedly, with a sense of enormous responsibility and his own artistic dignity.” This is how the outstanding Irina Arkhipova described the performing art of Zurab Anjaparidze who was one her perennial partners at the Bolshoi Theatre.

Thousands of spectators and listeners could not help but agree to her appraisal. Anjaparidze’s voice preserved on tape still resonates with the beauty of its sound, wealth of its timbre with an inimitable Italian flavour, emotional fullness of every character he went through. Zurab Anjaparidze debuted at the Bolshoi as José in Bizet’s Carmen in 1957. Along with the part of Radames in Verdi’s Aida, that role became Anjaparidze’s trademark, and soon the singer took the place of the leading heroic tenor of the opera company.

The role of Herman in Tchaikovsky’s Queen of Spades was the artist’s highest accomplishment at the Bolshoi. He also sang Herman on the Bolshoi’s tour at La Scala in 1964. After that making the Italian press dubbed him the “Soviet Franco Corelli.” The album includes fragments from the operas performed by Zurab Anjaparidze - The Queen of Spades, Carmen, Aida, as well as Verdi’s Il Trovatore and Otello, Puccini’s Tosca and Manon Lescaut, Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore and Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci. The recordings were made in the 1960s and 1970s with the orchestra of the USSR Bolshoi Theatre conducted by Alexander Melik-Pashayev, Boris Khaikin and Mark Ermler.

(1-14) - Arr. Daniel Kramer
Trio of Daniel Kramer:
Sergei Vassiliev, double bass
Pavel Timofeev, drums
Daniil Kramer, piano

The programme includes rousing and lyrical jazz improvisations, unexpected arrangements and fantasias on the pieces of classical, jazz and popular music composers. The crossover is a synthesis of very different musical styles. Hibla and Trio of Daniel Kramer were inspired to create a jazz/classical experiment a few years ago, but have had to wait torealise their ambition. It took more than a year to select the repertoire, discuss details and make arrangements. The result is a programme built on contrasts. There is Schubert’s Ave Maria and an unusual arrangement of Mozart’s Alleluia, Glinka’s Inesilia in a completely different guise, and the jazz hit Fly Me to the Moon. Combining classical depth and aesthetics with jazz harmonies and rhythms, an operatic voice with a swinging trio is not an easy task to accomplish, but Hibla Gerzmava and Trio of Daniel Kramer come through with flying colours.
