I wanted to look outside how I felt inside. Does that sound shallow...
Such stories--and such hazel-eyed looks--are a publicist's dream, especially at a time when classical-record sales are chronically depressed and many labels are willing to resort to any gimmick, however fatuous, in order to score crossover hits. But Kotova is more than just another megapretty face; she is also a musician of high seriousness and real talent...
