Product Description

BBC Music Magazine

Anyone fortunate enough to have attended the Kirov's performance of Rimsky-Korsakov's Snow Maiden last year would have noticed the remarkable tenor Daniil Shtoda (born 1977) as the Tsar. EMI, however, was on to him already, and this latest addition to its admirable Debut series is a revelation.

Shtoda's talent is extraordinary for many reasons: the sheer tonal beauty of his voice, reminiscent of the young Nicolai Gedda; its incredible range - resonant, burnished low notes rising fluently to a startlingly secure falsetto; and his interpretative skills and attention to text, not to mention his impeccable diction, are outstanding.

This glorious recital with the pianist Larissa Gergieva, peerless in this repertoire, features familiar romansi by Tchaikovsky, Rimsky, Rachmaninoff, Balakirev and Cui. But Shtoda casts a new light on them with his intelligent and carefully judged inflections: his deliberate stressing of 'odin' (alone) at the end of the first line of Tchaikovsky's 'Again, as before, I'm alone'; the sheer wonder in his voice at the word 'chuda' (miracle) in Cui's beguiling Pushkin setting 'Statue at Tsarskoe Selo'; the sensuous orientalism of his vocalise in Rimsky's haunting 'The Rose and the Nightingale', usually the preserve of a mezzo and sung here at its original pitch.

Let's hope the Kirov brings him to London this summer, preferably as Herman in The Queen of Spades.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent recital, 14 Nov 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Daniil Shtoda - Russian Song Recital (Audio CD)
This is one of the gems in the EMI Debut series, and one of the ones to have recently been reissued with texts and translations, removing the need to download them from the website. Beware however that both versions have the same catalogue number.

Russian Romans (Lieder) recitals are few and far between in the catalogue - primarily on Opus 111, Chandos, and Hyperion labels. Anyone enjoying this disc would probably enjoy also any of Mkrtchian's recitals, or Hvorostovsky's CD Russia Adrift.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent debut recital, 13 May 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Daniil Shtoda - Russian Song Recital (Audio CD)
This is an excellent recital, with Gergiev's sister on the piano. Shtoda seems on the way to becoming a big name opera star.

The only reason that this gets 4 stars not 5 is that EMI chose to issue the original red and white 'Debut Series' release without texts or translations, something later remedied with a new cover (featuring Shtoda in an ethereal grey photo), but with the same catalogue number.

Anyone wanting a better documented introduction to Russian song might be better off with the Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky or Glinka discs by mezzo Lina Mkrtchyan on Opus111 (cyrillic script), or the 'Russian Romance' series by tenor Larin on Chandos (cyrillic again), or the 'Russian Images' recitals by bass Savenko on Hyperion (romanized script).

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Debut Disc, 18 Nov 2003
By **** "****" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Daniil Shtoda - Russian Song Recital (Audio CD)
The body of work performed on this disc comes from the pen
of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov. The overall impression I
got was one of non-commitment to the feeling of the music
infact an inability to enter the composers emotional world.
As we know a true interpretatation of Tchaikovsky's music
cannot be feigned it must come from the inner most self.
Shoda has brought off the shorter numbers of Cui and Rimsky
with beautiful tonal colouring and expressiveness but fails to
deliver the goods with the highly emotive Tchaikovsky songs.
His 'Midst the din of the ball' a classic number falls
completely flat with little regard to expressive detail and phrasing.
It would pay him to listen to Nikolai Gedda's incomparable
versions and learn from them.
Also both the accompanist and soloist unduly distort the
tempos in Tchaikovsky's 'It was in early spring'-distracting and unnecessary.
His voice lacks tonal colour. For a more mature reading listen to Sergei Larin.
