Soprano Angelina Akhmedova from Uzbekistan pointed out to the best traditions of the Russian singing school. The dramatic expressiveness and subtle tone of her voice, in an exceptional way, depicted the idyll of a wedding, golden bells and the verses What a world of happiness their harmony foretells! [by Edgar Allan Poe].
