Tatiana Pavlovskaya


Pavlovskaya’s vocal style, delicate yet at the same time heartfelt, rich in shades and semitones, gives vocal works a sincere character.”
Utro Peterburga

Special attention should be paid to soloist Tatiana Pavlovskaya, a leading Mariinsky Theatre soloist. For some critics, her style recalls to memory Cecilia Bartoli herself.

Critics have commented on Tatiana Pavlovskaya’s vocal style as delicate and, at the same time, sensual and rich in shading and semitones, giving a deep quality to vocal compositions which inarguably means she is one of the present day’s most outstanding performers; the singer’s voice has been compared with the rich and intense flavour of “fine chocolate” (The New York Times).
