Firma Melodiya presents a programme of Russian chamber lyric compositions sung by the outstanding Hibla Gerzmava.
There is no doubt that the singer is one of today’s most brilliant vocalists of Russia and the world. A People’s Artist of Russia and the Republic of Abkhazia, a winner of the Golden Mask, Casta Diva, Triumph and Golden Orpheus awards, a welcome and longed-for guest of the greatest operatic and concert stages worldwide, she has performed at the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg, the Wiener Staatsoper, the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich, Covent Garden and Metropolitan Opera, the Théâtre du Châtelet and Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris, the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma in Rome and Teatro Comunale di Firenze in Florence, the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona, the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia in Valencia, the NHK Hall in Tokyo, and took part in the closing ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
However, chamber lyric singing, another side of the remarkable singer’s talent, has never been behind the scenes for her true fans. When Hibla Gerzmava was a contestant at the Tchaikovsky Competition, she received a special prize for her performance of Tchaikovsky’s Lullaby.
The singer’s new programme fully unveils a vivid and rich period of Russian music of the late 19th and the first quarter of the 20th centuries. Hibla Gerzmava is accompanied by pianist Yekaterian Ganelina, an Honoured Artist of the Republic of Abkhazia and an owner of many diplomas as the best concertmaster of prestigious international competitions, who has performed with the singer in Russia and abroad for many years now.

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.

Ah! bello a me ritorna (from Norma)

(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. |
