Viktoria Tolstoy, great-granddaughter of famous Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, is one of the most successful female Scandinavian singers. The songs here are mainly based on classical music, though two traditional folk songs were added into the mix, and Tolstoy and producer Nils Landgren looked through the annals of Russian pop for inspiration. "A spectacular success. Only those possessing a heart stonier than the Great Wall of China will fail to be moved. Tolstoy"s most personal and ambitious work to date." -- Jazzwise
