Bolshoi theatre - Pages in History
The Russian company 'Aquarius' (the 1941 'Iolanta' under Samosud is in their catalogue) is planning a subscribers only series of CDs concentrating on those singers well-known and unjustly forgotten. There will only be 200 copies of each disc printed. It looks like the idea is to create the definative series of Russian artists of this period (1930's - 50s) with source material from Melodiya, State Radio and Television, and private collectors
The first disc will be dedicated to Nikandr Khanaev
