Firma Melodiya presents an album with two rare operas of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov - The Noblewoman Vera Sheloga and Mozart and Salieri. Both of the one-act operas were written in the second half of the 1890s, in the period of the great Russian composer's new heyday. Mozart and Salieri continued a peculiar tradition that was begun by Alexander Dargomyzhsky in The Stone Guest, a musical incarnation of Alexander Pushkin's Little Tragedies. The Noblewoman Vera Sheloga emerged as an addition (prologue) to Rimsky-Korsakov's opera The Maid of Pskov that he worked on in those years. Rimsky-Korsakov's operas were recorded in 1986 by the company of the USSR Bolshoi Theatre led by the prominent conductor Mark Ermler starring Tamara Milashkina, Nina Grigorieva, Evgeny Nesterenko, Alexander Fedin and other leading soloists of the theatre.
