Valentina Levko was another in the glorious line of 20th century Russian contraltos who, in some ways, defined the sound of Russian opera to ears, both Eastern and Western, who often discovered the rich tradition of Russian opera for the first time through through recordings. However, Levko's name, unlike her compatriots like Elena Obratzova, never traveled as far or as well. Committed to her contract at the Bolshoi, she turned down several opportunities to make a name for herself in the west, with the lucrative recording contracts that would surely have followed. And yet hers was, as this important ensemble reveals, a voice and dramatic presence firmly in the mold of past greats like Zara Dolukhanova. The ensemble is carefully selected by theme, thus revealing Levko's remarkable versatility. Arias from Bolshoi classics by Glinka, Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky mix with Western operas by Ponchielli, Verdi and others; her ability to scale her voice to an intimate setting results in warmly idiomatic recordings of art songs by Schubert, Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov. The pleasure he took in the folk song of his own country also led to many recordings with the Ossipov Folk Orchestra, but his skill extended to folk songs of many languages, as the latest CD reveals. Perhaps most surprising of all, the first CD reveals a natural interpreter of Bach and Handel. An extensive booklet note discusses his life and career; For anyone interested in Russian vocals, this set will be essential.
