In the Still of Night is a new recording from Anna Netrebko to be released in March. Here is a website devoted to the album. It can be pre-ordered now from Amazon.
This article about the release makes the incredible statement, "This was, incredibly, the first recital of her professional career...." This is absurd. I have personally been to an Anna Netrebko recital in San Francisco where the accompanist was Donald Runnicles. Her Russian work is fabulous. I can't wait to hear it. Bits are on the website.

Just to point out that this statement about being her first recital is not written by the press release by 21C Media Group, but, as it is written in the press release, by an article written by George Loomis for Musical America.
Said that, obviously you are right. Before her recital in Salzburg, Anna had performed in some piano-vocal recitals, such as at the Old First Church in San Francisco on 1. Feb 1998, White Hall in Moscow on 27. Dec 2003, Herbs Theater in San Francisco on 24. May 2004 (the one you mentioned), Tokyo Opera Concert City Hall in Tokyo on 1. May 2005, Rosengarten Mozartsaal in Mannheim on 12. Aug 2009...
Thanks for clarifying. I have friends who saw the recital at Old First Church. We have been following Anna's career for quite a while.
Really? Great! This was for the Schwabacher Debut Recital Series, with John Churchwell at the Piano...
