With overwhelming tragic power Lina Mkrtchyan lends her rich contralto to the terrifying visions of Mussorgsky's Songs and Dances of Death, one of the greatest masterpieces in the vocal repertoire, and the song "Russia adrift" by Sviridov, a pupil of Shostakovich who conveys, in music by turns melodious and dramatic, his fears for the fate of Russia, which are nevertheless tgranscended by an exultant sense of hope.
