A landmark of 20th-century vocal recording, Songs by Tchaikovsky and Britten unites the formidable talents of soprano Galina Vishnevskaya and cellist/conductor Mstislav Rostropovich. Released by Decca in 1970, this album is a profound exploration of romantic and modern art song, moving from the passionate, folk-tinged melancholy of Tchaikovsky to the stark, haunting intensity of Benjamin Britten's The Poet's Echo, a cycle written expressly for Vishnevskaya. The profound musical and personal synergy between these two artists—a legendary husband-and-wife duo—is palpable throughout, resulting in performances of raw emotional power, intellectual depth, and breathtaking virtuosity that stand as a definitive interpretation.
