Delphian's three-CD set of Sergey Rachmaninov's songs is a complete survey of the published vocal music, presented by seven skilled singers whose native language is Russian. Evelina Dobraceva, Ekaterina Siurina, Justina Gringyte, Daniil Shtoda, Andrei Bondarenko, Rodion Pogossov, and Alexander Vinogradov were gathered for the project by pianist Iain Burnside, not only for their accuracy in pronouncing the texts, but also for their experience in performing Rachmaninov's works with the proper expression and color.
