The songs of the Russian composer Alexander Gretchaninov were recorded for the first time by the famous bass Boris Christoff. These songs takes us out of the everyday brutality to retrieve those higher feelings that link us to eternity, perfection and infinity.
The romances selected by Nicola Ghyuselev perfectly reveal the singer's bright and vivid vocal abilities. This seems to be one of the culmination points in the brilliant career of the artist who never stops widening his stylistic preferences.
This CD is an excellent example of the best achievements of the Bulgarian classical music.
