Lest there be any doubt that Lithuanian soprano Asmik Grigorian is among the most electrifying performers of her generation, the Guardian has compared her voice to "velvet-wrapped steel" and Classical Source has described "words pouring from her like streams of molten lava." Having sung lead roles in Madama Butterfly, Jenufa, and Salome to great acclaim in recent seasons, Grigorian makes a rare US visit in an all-Russian-language Cal Performances debut recital, performing rarely heard songs--"small pieces of opera in a few minutes," she calls them--by Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff. She is joined by frequent collaborator, pianist Lukas Geniusas.
