Review by Johnny Tomassetti

Album Review: "Арии" by Анегина Ильина – A Timeless Opera Journey Let’s cut to the chase. If you’re into classical music, especially opera, this album is like stumbling upon an old vinyl in your grandpa's attic and realizing it’s pure gold. Released back in 1982 in the USSR under the label Мелодия, Арии (which translates to “Arias”) showcases Анегина Ильина at her mezzo-soprano finest. Backed by the powerhouse that is Оркестр Большого Театра СССР, conducted with finesse by Марк Эрмлер, this record feels like stepping into a time machine set for drama and elegance. First off, let’s talk about two tracks that stuck with me long after I hit stop—because who has time for generic praise? Track Highlight 1: "Каватина Розины" This one? Oh man, it hits different. It’s playful yet layered, kinda like watching kittens tumble around but knowing there’s serious skill behind their chaos. Ильина nails the emotional shifts here—it starts light, almost teasing, then BAM! She flips into something deeper, richer, more intense. You can practically picture Rosina scheming up her next move in The Barber of Seville. The orchestra doesn’t just accompany; they weave through every note like threads in a tapestry. By the end, you’re left thinking, “Wait… was that four minutes or forty?” Track Highlight 2: "Сцена И Дуэт Амнерис И Радамеса" Okay, so imagine two titans clashing—not physically, but vocally—and you’ve got this duet from Aida. This track is where things get real spicy. Ильина channels Amneris’ jealousy and heartbreak so convincingly, you half expect her to storm out of the recording studio mid-take. Paired with Radames’ soaring tenor (even though his part isn’t sung by her, obviously), the chemistry between these characters leaps right out of the speakers. Honestly, if operas were soap operas, this would be the season finale everyone talks about for weeks. --- Now, let’s not forget the unsung heroes—the credits tell us В. Иванов did some killer artwork, while М. Пахтер made sure everything sounded crisp as freshly ironed sheets. Even the liner notes by В. Зарубин add depth, giving context without being boring. And props to photographer В. Барышников because, well, those photos scream Cold War chic. But here’s the thing: listening to this album feels strange in 2023. Like, how does something recorded over four decades ago still feel so alive? Maybe it’s because Ильина poured her soul into each aria, or maybe it’s just proof that great art doesn’t age—it evolves. Either way, this record reminds me why we bother preserving music in the first place. Oh, and fun fact—I kept expecting someone to shout “Bravo!” at the end of each track. Guess that says something about how immersive it is! So yeah, whether you’re a die-hard opera fan or just curious what Soviet-era magic sounds like, give Арии a spin. Just don’t blame me when you find yourself humming along in Russian—even if you have no idea what the words mean.
