Here's music for the next time you are snowed in, your car in the shop, no one but you and - well, vodka, if you want to get into the spirit of things. The deep-voiced Russian barrel baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky has put together a set of 16 songs by Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky and Taneyev, brooding in the way only Russian songs can be. The landscape of these songs, little changing over the course of the disc, has something in common with the landscape of Buffalo - snowy nights, time to think things over at length and examine your emotions in depth. The Tchaikovsky songs remind me of his opera \"Eugene Onegin,\" vast episodes of Russians singing what is in their hearts. The four songs from Mussorgky's \"Songs and Dances of Death\" are terribly bleak but weirdly beautiful. I always remember \"Trepak,\" about the old man who is drunk and lost in a snowstorm. It's not a song you forget. The songs of Sergei Ivanovich Taneyev - who, born in 1856, is the most recent of these three composers - strike a more elegantly romantic note. songs are a little different. I like \"Minuet,\" about how this 18th century dance can have a bittersweet melody. It shows the understanding and affinity Russians have always felt for Mozart. There are texts and translations - most welcome, but you almost don't need them. We speak the international language of winter. --The Buffalo News\n\n\"Hvorostovsky is fearless and diverse…\" --David J.
