CD ReviewsValentina Ponomareva Baruch Ben-David | Chicago, IL, USA | 05/29/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "This CD would appeal to those who enjoy Russian music, and especially Russian folk or gypsy music. These songs are traditional, and are all sung in the Russian language.
Valentina Ponomareva has a clear and strong voice, and sings with great emotion. I found her selection of songs to be interesting. there were the familiar songs such as Dark Eyes (ochi chyorniye), and others that were less common. I like the way that Valentina puts her emotions into her singing. For instance, the song "Day and Night" (Tolko raz, bivayet vzhizni stretche) is a sad song of unrequited love, poignant in its own right. When Valentina belts it out, it becomes a genuine tear-jerker. I like how she can wring every last bit of feeling from the songs she sings." |
