First known to millions of Russians as the widow of singer Mikhail Krug, this talented vocalist carried on her late husband's memory by reinterpreting his material, eventually recording an entire album's worth of his songs. But Krug also carved out her own identity in the Russian pop scene, displaying a special gift for romantic duets, including a series of collaborations with Aleksei Bryancev notable for the erotic interplay between her flowing alto and his rumbling bass. And whenever she steps out alone, her unhurried phrasing and slow intimacy with a lyric present a special delight.
