Aigul Akhmetshina - Aigul [CD]

Aigul Akhmetshina - "Aigul" / Aigul Akhmetshina is the fiery young mezzo taking the opera world by storm. Her story is one of determination and perseverance against the odds, starting in a rural village in the mountains of Bashkortostan. She left home aged 14 to pursue her singing career. Despite facing rejection from a conservatory in Moscow, where she was told she lacked the right voice and appearance, at the age of 27 Aigul has already etched her name in history. Featuring the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Daniele Rustioni.
