Annotation

Recorded Jul 1993 at the Friedrich-Ebert-Halle, Hamburg.
All songs sung in Russian.

The catalogue numbering given is that which appears on the spine, booklet and back insert. The copy I am working from is not the standard release, but a limited edition with added bonus disc. On that version (at least) this disc is described as "Disc 1" and given a separate catalogue number of 442 487-2. I do not know if that number is also found on the disc in the standard release without the bonus disc.

All songs sung in Russian

Included as a bonus disc in some copies of the Olga Borodina Tchaikovsky Romances recording that have a round sticker on the outside front of the jewel case with the words "Olga Borodina - Opera excerpts - Limited edition - Bonus CD". The track listing is printed on the innner side of the back insert. The booklet makes no mention of the bonus CD. The disc surface has the words disc 2 on it, and an individual recording number of 442 455-2.

Track 1 is taken from Philips recording 438 141-2, where it appears as disc 1 track 10
Track 2 is taken from Philips recording 438 235-2, where it appears as disc 1 track 4
Track 3 is taken from Philips recording 432 147-2. It is not known to me as which track.
