Russian Music Oldies on YouTube

For students of Russian language and culture

In the past people waited years, traveled large distances on horses. and spent small fortunes on listening to certain pieces of music maybe once in their entire adult lives, and that the lower classes probably never heard any classical music at all.

Now we can listen most masterpieces with a few flicks of mouse (or finger on touch screen), whenever we want. Think about it.

Compare Basso Profondo Trio Song of the Volga Boatmen



That's kind of neoliberal band ;-) But some of thier songs are really funny.

[May 10, 2020] На Безымянной Высоте Дмитрий Хворостовский (4.2003) authors М.Матусовским и В.Баснером

Now when the international situation smells with a new war, the song sound of a urgent warning to both common people and politicians

Compare Юрий Гуляев На Безымянной высоте The first performance of this this song in the presence of two out of 18 surviving soldies of this episode of WWII Уникальное видео - встреча с двумя оставшимися в живых героями песни и авторами М.Матусовским и В.Баснером на "Голубом огоньке". Комментарий Игоря Кириллова об этой съёмке тут на 20-й мин. https://youtu.be/wxZ-Y0Untuk?t=1193 Эфир 7 ноября 1967г. Большая благодарность Pustinnik25 за предоставленное видео. Кому интересна эта тема, наберите в любом поисковике: "Безымянная высота Калужская область". Командир 718 стр полка Ефрем Салов и командир 139 стр дивизии Иосиф Кириллов представили 17 человек из штурмовой группы Порошина к званию "Герой Советского Союза". Решением Военного совета 10 Армии герои награждены орденами Отечественной войны I степени по причине пленения одного бойца. Так как немцы после боя зверски изуродовали лица солдат, Константина Власова посчитали погибшим. Его по документам похоронили в братской могиле, и домой жене в Новосибирск выслали похоронку. 7 мая 1970 г Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР орденом Отечественной войны I степени награждён (посмертно) 18-й участник штурмовой группы Татари Касабиев, которого ошибочно посчитали пленённым. О Константине Власове https://youtu.be/x_e32xia7FE https://youtu.be/Gs9yNxiF63w Константин Власов после побега с немецкого поезда воевал в Белоруссии в партизанском отряде "Мститель". В последнем бое получил тяжелейшее ранение разрывной пулей в грудь. Уже раненый, чуть не погиб в лесной белорусской деревушке в доме, который подожгли каратели. Его спасли - вытащили через окно. Потом долго лечился в госпитале, вернулся домой в Новосибирск. Никаким репрессиям не подвергался! О Герасиме Лапине https://youtu.be/yAuJk9CHlt8 About 2 years ago Песня о реальном бое. В ночь на 14 сентября группе из 18 бойцов 8-й роты 718 полка 139-й стрелковой ‎дивизии была поставлена задача овладеть высотой 224,1 у деревни Рубеженка, ‎обеспечивающей удобный выход к реке Десна. Группу составляли в основном новосибирцы ‎‎(17 человек были из г. Новосибирска, а 10 работали на заводе "Сибметаллстрой", ныне ‎‎"Сибсельмаш"). Под командованием младшего лейтенанта Евгения Порошина бойцы смогли ‎выполнить задачу и овладеть высотой, но были отсечены от основных сил 139-й стрелковой ‎дивизии превосходящими силами противника. В течение всей ночи 18 солдат удерживали ‎высоту, отбивая атаки превосходящих сил немцев - до 500 солдат, усиленных танками, ‎артподготовкой и авиацией.‎ К утру в живых осталось двое – Герасим Лапин (дончанин) и Константин Власов (сибиряк). ‎Власова взяли в плен, он бежал из плена, воевал в партизанском отряде. Лапин был ‎обнаружен подошедшим к утру подкреплением – боец лежал среди мертвых товарищей и ‎был без сознания.‎.

[May 01, 2020] May labor protests disappeared probably 20 years before the disappearance of the USSR. Now thanks to coronavirus they kind of return in the form of protests against lockdowns.

Those classic songs has somewhat religious overtones... Unfortunately idea that proletariat will be new hegemon class advanced in Marxism proved to be false. Still working class gave serious fight to capitalists during the first two decades of 20th century. But that was it.

Classic Russian romance about unmet, desperate love. Tragic song although not all performers understand that.

Музыка Никита Богословский, стихи Николай Доризо. Песня из кинофильма "Разные судьбы" (1956). Бруно Фрейндлих в роли Рощина и Татьяна Пилецкая в роли Тани в фильме "Разные судьбы", 1956 год (романс Рощина)

ANDRÉ RIEU_Dark Eyes.mpg Compare Dark Eyes

Red Army Choir Dark Eyes. Olga Karasso 1 year ago Splendid more than splendid Russian song perfectly performed with the right passion by André Rieu with his Musicians. Sylwia Ręgowska 1 year ago Black eyes, passionate eyes,

Burning and beautiful eyes!

How I love you, how I fear you,....... Nancy Hey 7 years ago Dark and burning eyes, Dark as midnight skies Full of passion flame, full of lovely game I'm in love with you, I'm afraid of you. Days when I met you made me sad and blue. Oh, not for nothing are you darker than the deep! I see mourning for my soul in you, I see a triumphant flame in you: A poor heart immolated in it. But I am not sad, I am not sorrowful, My fate is soothing to me: All that is best in life that God gave us, In sacrifice I returned to the fiery eyes!

gwtwcarlos2 years ago This is the best version I have ever seen, not only it is brillianty played but it is played by youngsters, beautiful young souls. Lovely to hear and to see them. Thank you Akademia Filmu !! From Argentina with love.

[Mar 04, 2020] P.Tchaikovsky. Italian Capriccio

Sameoldfitup2 weeks ago "We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us, but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter." Denis Diderot French philosopher 1713, 1784.

From comments: "She's hitting keys like they owe her money" ;-) Few people can't appreciate how incredible she is ... From comments: "Lisitsa is female version of Liszt"

Песенка "уно-уно-уно, ун моменто" из фильма "Формула любви" на слух очень похожа на итальянскую. В действительности её текст представляет собой просто рифмованный набор итальянских слов о любви, а придуман он был композитором фильма Геннадием Гладковым.

[Jan 18, 2020] Some notable classic

From comments "Everyone talks about conductor, whereas Rimsky-Korsakov is one in who's genius head this thing was born, every musician playing, every instrument party was imagined by him, resulting into bumble bee flight as real as it can't be even with video."

[Jan 06, 2020] Elisey Mysin -- Russian pianist prodigy

This young maestro is really extraordinary human being; dazzling, divine level of musical expression for such an age... Incredible piano skills at someone so young. Bravissimo !!!

He also already composed some pieces of music, see for example: Elisey Mysin own composistion called Tangerin
