Greetings everyone,
In 1996 a great friend recorded a wonderful performance of Glinka's " A Life for the Tsar" (AKA "Ivan Susanin") during a visit to the Opera House in Zürich. John Allison in his review in "Opera" [October 1996, p.1229] is very impressed and says Salminen's performance: "..from start to finish confirmed this as one of the great bass roles… he sang with sculpted magnificence". Great applause! Recordings of this formative and splendid opera are not common so I hope this very good in-house recording is enjoyed by many.
Best wishes Roger D Bell Lancashire England
