Glinka: Ivan Susanin (A Life For The Tsar)

A first release on CD for the first recording in stereo of the first ‘Russian opera’ in its Soviet-era rewrite. With this and six companion issues, Eloquence makes available for the first time on CD the seven complete Russian operas recorded in 1955 by Decca with the company of the Belgrade Opera. ‘The stereo sound is remarkable for its time… Cangalovic is quite moving as Susanin prepares for the supreme sacrifice in his country’s cause.’ Gramophone, June 1974 ‘Cangalovic… gives a moving and sincere performance.’ Opera, October 1958
