Valentina Ponomareva’s renderings of Gypsy music from Russia sparkle with all the forgotten romance of that culture. Ponomareva, accompanied by traditional guitars and violins, performs with sweetness and romance. She draws on her own Gypsy heritage and long experience as a Gypsy musician to this impressive recording, where Wanderlust notes that “the passion in her voice shines through.”
