“Ars longa, vita brevis est’, ‘Life is short, but art is eternal’. Days of glory slip into the past, taking with them those who bestowed upon us the chance to discover beauty and wonder. We are left with indelible impressions, reminiscences of lives dedicated to the Art.
Some time in the past, namely in the second half of the 20th century, two bright stars blazed on the world opera scene — Tamara Milashkina and Vladimir Atlantov.
This brilliant and successful collaboration between two great singers has brought an enormous number masterly performed music chefs-d’oeuvres, model references of impeccable taste and skill, enhanced by their musical upbringing, talent and hard work.
Fortunately, during the period of their ultimate glory when these great performers appeared at various world stages, their opera roles and concert performances were recorded and filmed.
Our task was to select the best performances in order to acquaint music lovers of the 21st century with these masterpieces. Now you are holding a CD called “The Selected Works of Tamara Milashkina and Vladimir Atlantov”. And lucky you are: legendary singers of Russian and world opera scene will sing for you from that wonderful distant past to make your present time none the less wonderful.
