Asmik Grigorian - Dissonance - The Guardian

Her tone at its fullest, all velvet-wrapped steel, gleams with enough edge to cut through anything a full-throttle Rachmaninov piano part can throw at it, and Geniušas does not give the impression of holding back; in Spring Waters, setting words by the Romantic poet Fyodor Tyutchev, there’s a thrilling few moments as the surging piano torrents briefly threaten to overwhelm the voice. Quieter passages bring hints of vulnerability and a more convincing tenderness than most singers of Grigorian’s power can summon without the voice losing its poise.

Grigorian and Genušias will make you wonder why you don’t hear them more often.
