With a career deeply intertwined with Moscow Radio, Doluhanova brings a unique blend of classical training and spontaneous artistry to her interpretations. Her mezzo-soprano voice is rich and full across all registers, capturing a wide array of emotions from the tender lullaby to the passionate Spanish song.
