Synopsis

Album Description
"Russian Romance" is a unique mix of romance and passion that speaks directly to the heart. It?s as mystical as the Russian soul. "Russian Romance" draws from the rich ethnic palette of musical traditions and influences that reflect the diversity of Russian culture and history. The haunting beat of the Mongolian-Tatar Horde, medieval aura of the Belorussian orthodox church choir, polyrhythmic Turkish pattern, vocal ornamentation of Azerbaijan mugam, free phrasing of Moldavian-Gypsy song - all these infusions meet in "Romance" on the solid foundation of the rich melodics and clear form of Russian classical music.

Sweet and captivating sounds

"I heard this CD and artist reviewed on NPR one day, and luckily jotted down the name ella laya. This is a fantastic CD, sweet and melodic, and just different enough to be interesting. Everyone that hears it perks up with "what IS this"... I play the CD over and over again. It's sort of Russian folky, exotic, melodic, catchy, relaxing. Most (all?) of it is sung in languages other than english which I find particularly relaxing. There is no dithering over words, just nice music. Anyone who likes Norah Jones, Diana Krall, Cecila Bartoli, others, needs this in their collections."
