Nina Pavlovna Koshetz had a VERY interesting life! She was born in Kiev in 1891 into a well known theatrical/musical family and became a very popular Opera singer of the day. Then, as most people’s lives did there, during the tumultuous terrible times of the early 20th century, life began to be filled with struggle, horror and tragedy. Link follows.
Isn’t this recording breathtakingly beautiful?!!! Enjoy!
