CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description "From St. Petersburg With Love" is the debut cd by this singer/songwriter. Melancholic ballads all sung in Russian with an otherworldly voice that is reminiscent of Brigitte Fontaine and Vashti Bunyan. Her imaginative compositions run the gamut from truncated pop vignettes to somber elegies and are delivered, alternately, with exuberance and despair. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsSpare, hauntingly beautiful, lovely voice Joel T. Davis | sacramento, ca United States | 12/10/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "You don't have to know Russian to appreciate the stark beauty of this treasure. Julia Vorontsova's lovely sing/whisper voice -- which grabs you from the start with "Older" ("St. Petersburg-St. Petersburg, St. Petersburg" cascading out of her pouty mouth in staccato fashion) and minimalist acoustic guitar arrangements are hauntingly beautiful, somehow conveying her homeland's torturous history in a brilliantly understated way...Don't let the weird album cover scare you off: what's inside is wonderful. (I clicked 4 stars by mistake; should be five...) " Enchanting, Comforting and Mysterious. kindred spirit | God's Country | 09/26/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I learned of this artist by watching a birthing show on TV. Julia was having her second child and playing the gutiar during labor. Her voice took me in right away. They made mention she had already had a CD published at age 18yrs.
I came right to Amazon and ordered it. I cannot speak Russian but you do not have to, to enjoy the CD. She just has a voice that is so pleasant to listen to. It is hard to believe she is so young. If you like to listen to different languages and have a taste of the culture this is a wonderful way to start. Highly recommend." |
