Valentina Levko fue otra en la gloriosa línea de contraltos rusos del siglo XX que, de alguna manera, definieron el sonido de la ópera rusa para oídos, tanto orientales como occidentales, que a menudo descubrían por primera vez la rica tradición de la ópera rusa a través de grabaciones. Sin embargo, el nombre de Levko, a diferencia de sus compatriotas como Elena Obratzova, nunca viajó tan lejos ni tan bien. Comprometida con su contrato en el Bolshoi, rechazó varias oportunidades de hacerse un nombre en el oeste, con los lucrativos contratos de grabación que seguramente habrían seguido. Y sin embargo, el suyo fue, como revela este importante conjunto, una voz y una presencia dramática firmemente en el molde de grandes del pasado como Zara Dolukhanova. El conjunto está cuidadosamente seleccionado por temas, revelando así la notable versatilidad de Levko. Arias de clásicos del Bolshoi de Glinka, Rimsky-Korsakov y Tchaikovsky se mezclan con óperas occidentales de Ponchielli, Verdi y otros; su habilidad para escalar su voz a un entorno íntimo da lugar a grabaciones cálidamente idiomáticas de canciones de arte de Schubert, Brahms, Tchaikovsky y Rachmaninov. El placer que tomó en la canción popular de su propio país también dio lugar a muchas grabaciones con la Orquesta Folclórica Ossipov, pero su habilidad se extendió a canciones folclóricas de muchos idiomas, como revela el último CD. Quizás lo más sorprendente de todo, el primer CD revela un intérprete natural de Bach y Handel. Una extensa nota de libreto discute su vida y carrera; para cualquiera interesado en voces rusas, este conjunto será esencial.
