[SS1v3k1]

I think this is good to bring to attention to non-Russian, non-native English speakers:

If you want a caption in your native language, I think the translate caption function there works quite well.

just saying here

[TheSpiritOfTheTimes]

Love it, love the facial expressions he makes, the guy's a star.

[chemitooooo]

Hermoso video.

[Communismcomrade]

That Polkovnik is a decent conductor...

[aremieroll1990]

OK! its time to play COH eastern Front mod!

[TereniaAnna]

@mssmjscss. Did you put the subtitles on ? It may explain something !

[TereniaAnna]

@mssmjscss. Well I don't think I said Mr K looked gay or stoned and I didn't swear either !! But the comment from Turkey was about the same as mine !!

Look out for the Fine Autumn Rain song which is my favourite.

[mssmjscss]

He either looks stoned or kinda gay (like the orientation, not the quality); he still F*CKIN' rocks though, what with his speedy singin'!

Greetings from the U.S. of A.!

[dowllacab]

@mssmjscss it's because he is acting, not just singing. He is playing two roles - the girl and the cossack. It is funny because it is meant to be funny.

[russiandoll87]

@mssmjscss What a disrespectful comment. Please don't make those of us fans from the USA look bad by making unnecessary comments like that.

[cenkmazibasi76]

This choir has not bad performers.. Igor Volkoff is good, but he dont reflect emotion in this song.. But... Kharitonov is feel the emotion in this song..And he reflecting very well.. He have a nice smile. And he use body language very well.. He's almost dancing..:) Kharitonov better than Volkoff.. I wish you a healthy life Mr. Kharitonov.. Greetings from Ankara/Turkey....

[Kingtiger933]

Wonderful voice and mimic

Ja sllushaju Mister Kharatinov this moment. Mrekulli.

[hoackin86]

Great song and great singer! All the best from brother Serbs!

[Corvusdotensis]

He has lots of medals and he is just a soldier??? They should promote such good singer to Army Officer!

[SoviMusic]

@Corvusdotensis They dont need to be ,actually it was kind an honor to be in the ensemble of soviet army ;)

[MrGeorgeWall]

This is a very wonderful bass. Excellent performance. Hooves and whistles are very harmonious.

[LHaritonov]

@TereniaAnna

Thank you for such a sweet comment! )

[mssmjscss]

@TereniaAnna Umm...I think I just said recently what you said a month ago...sorry there.

[datrosamelapibus1]

bravissimo maestro!!!!



[likethecats]

Who is Paul Mcartney and The Beatles? Who cares...

[metro2033fan]

[Gisborne184]

I have watched all your clips on You tube including your thanks to your fans. I am delighted by you voice and your nobility. How lucky we are to be able to view some of your work. Thankyou so much.

[nikpapgre]

[grandslam1998]

Mr Kharitonov this really is top class! Not only a great voice but also a great preformance. The choir are just fantastic! Bravo Bravo Bravo.

[jnbelcantu]

Along with his oustanding voice, I get a kick out of his facial expressions and body language.

[RedOctober1922]

Kharitonov dominates!

[independent5551]

Бесподобно

[TousavecNintendo]

Boris Alexandrov conducts the orchestra!

[ElChileGrande]

Hah! Boris really looks like his father!

Good job Kharitonov!

[Trillios]

@ElChileGrande And Leonid looks like my uncle :P

[ygan72]

"Ócseny Kraszívüly" , "Drasztvujtye sz Budapest  !!!!!"

[grandslam1998]

@Trillios  He may get a Dear John letter? Dashing gallant Leonid is the one who break hearts! He is a great artist.

[Trillios]

@grandslam1998 wtf are you talking about?

[grandslam1998]

@Trillios Talk tidy will you.! What do you not understand? A Dear John letter is a letter from a loved one ending the ralationship esp if you are in the armed services.

[Trillios]

@grandslam1998 no watch "vasya vasilyok" damn it little kid

[grandslam1998]

@Trillios You do have a way with words. I wached V V and your point is? Why are you so angry? I think you miss the point about comments on youtube. It's all a bit of fun! Relax and enjoy Leonid Kharitonov. He truely is a great singer and this song is one of his best

[Trillios]

@grandslam1998 yes he is a truly great singer and i think you miss the point of comments, comments are for sharing and to be exact his name is Leonid M. Kharitonov. The point with Vasya Vasilyok was that he missed his girlfriend and therefor he wouldnt have so many cossack girls in his "haydays", what ever that is

[grandslam1998]

@Trillios Heyday is the period of greatest vigor and success in your life.

Have fun.

[Trillios]

@grandslam1998 may you also have fun :P, cant wait for my hayday

[grandslam1998]

I bet dasing Leonid had many Cossack girls chasing him him in his hayday!

[Trillios]

@grandslam1998 dasing?

[grandslam1998]

@Trillios Dashing

[Trillios]

@grandslam1998 damn you i hoped that word would unvoid the music i listen too but... im not going to be mad im just gonna... ehm.........

[Trillios]

@grandslam1998 and hate to break it to you but watch "vasya vasilyok" he is deeply in love........

[grominator666]

Первый раз вижу видео на это исполнение, и я в него просто влюбилась. Каюсь, не знала раньше имя солиста, хотя и люблю слушать старые записи КАППСА. Ну что же, теперь буду знать певца Леонида Харитонова. Спасибо.

Великолепно! Спасибо большое из Болгарии!

What an optimistic comment! Thanks! )))

[Archraveful]

i love this song!

[DuStKalle]

@0darkwizard0 Try Newfie's sea shanties. Also real cowboy songs have little to do with Hollywood production. But unfortunately another meaning of freedom - free will - "wolja" in Russian has been never known to English. And sure they miss it!

[acerb45666555]

Kharatinov.................hes Georgian?? or Khazaki?? eveyone has similar names! its hard to tell whos a Tartar, or a guy from Karelia!

[VegaEtereo]

[alragarp]

Extraordinario.

[Kupchik1]

Превосходно!!!!

При Б.Александрове Ансамбль брал зрителей не заигрыванием с ним, как в наши дни, а мастерством исполнения. Да и в работе оркестра чувствовалась рука мастера. Филигранная обработка каждого произведения завораживает. Пением солиста, также как и оркестровкой можно наслаждаться отдельно, ну а вместе - так бы и слушал непрерывно. Столько переливов_ точно алмаз на солнце!

Спасибо.

[LHaritonov]

@Kupchik1

Спасибо за такой превосходный комментарий!

[LHaritonov]

@Kupchik1

Это Вам спасибо за прекрасный комментарий! )

[sotonindeda]

@LHaritonov ...are those two people who pressed ''dislike'' thought that ''dislike'' means ''dis I like'' ?

[Antarath]

aw Boris looks like a super nice man. Wish he was my grandpa haha

[LHaritonov]

@Antarath

Interesting comment! ))

[AndyAndy694]

Гениальное исполнение, спасибо Леонид Михайлович, настоящее наслаждение слушать Ваш голос ....

[LHaritonov]

@AndyAndy694

На здоровье! Рад, что понравилось!

[AndyAndy694]

@LHaritonov

да и не только голос, а какой образ создан, мимика, жесты, пластика, ну все, просто гениально!!! Спасибо огромное.

[LHaritonov]

@AndyAndy694

Образ, действительно удалось создать неповторимый! ))

[emuyogi]

Wonderful...

[Bluehawk2008]

This guy's got charisma coming out the wazoo.

[aradiapatitare]

Que arte, que expressão. Sentimentos nãoe adquirem em conservatório. Ele é o espirito da Sibéria.

[LHaritonov]

@aradiapatitare

Muito obrigado!

[MrAntidur1]

A truly riveting, powerful, enamored Super Soviet Russian Folk Song! It's just too bad it's not that famous BRAVO MAESTRO LONYA KHARTIONOV YOU ROCK MAN!

Red Armies kick asses musicaly too!

[LHaritonov]

@MrAntidur1

Thank you!

[Baurles]

The Soviet Union may not have been the greatest country in the world, people are starving and a dictatorship. But they sure sing the best in the world!

[LHaritonov]

@Baurles

Yes, but most of the big countries had such problems as starvation and dictatorship, etc... So Russia is far from being the worst one...

[fikamar27]

ehm I checked the lyrics, something wrong in "I s the por hot shagom edu"

or maybe I wrong to hear it?

but it's great song! love this!

[LHaritonov]

@fikamar27

Everything fine with lyrics to me...

[fikamar27]

@LHaritonov I checked it the lyrics again, ok you're right. Sorry

[jonedelleman]

Ah ! I needed that to lift my spirits today.Thank you, Leonid!

[LHaritonov]

@jonedelleman

Always my pleasure! ))

[JossyHadash]

yeah im disappointed in the christmas tree and bells.... i thought the soviet union wouldn't officially celebrate christmas... then again, they probably saw they need to fight those terrorists.

[Kiernyc]

@JossyHadash I think they are celebrating New Year here.

[LHaritonov]

@Kiernyc

Yes. This clip is from 1969 New Year TV show.

[bdott77]

this man has Charm

[rytmurphy]

One of the best bass singers of all time! I never get tired of watching this performance. Thanks for posting.

[LHaritonov]

@rytmurphy

Thank you!

[1988acid]

Looking at other singers doing Leonid numbers and they just don't have it.

The guy is up there with Elvis,Miles Davis and Bob Marley.

[LHaritonov]

@1988acid

Very interesting comparison! ))) Thank you!

[mymyn69]

Слушаю Ансамбль им. Александрова уже 35 лет (мне 40) но это совсем первый раз слышу эту весёлую и красивую песнию благодаря Вас и Youtube!

Но конечно часто послушала Вашего отца, Леонид Михайлович, особенно в "Эх ухнем", для меня он лучший исполнитель этой песни.

К сожалению, его иногда забыли: в 1998 г. полковник Дмитрий Васильевич Сомов подарил мне диск 70лет Ансамбля, ни одной записи Вашего отца не было! Однако можно слушать на этом диске Ивана Букреева и Евгения Беляева...

Спасибо Вам

[LHaritonov]

@mymyn69

Спасибо Вам за комментарий! Действительно очень жаль, что Леонида Харитонова так мало публиковали. Но на это в то время были свои политические причины...

[1988acid]

this music ain't my thing but that was a nice fun tune i thought Russia never celebrated Christmas.

[LHaritonov]

@1988acid

It's not Christmas. It was New Year eve. Russian (Orthodox) Christmas is on 7th of January. And Russia do celebrate it.

[goakajbr]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I love that song! Greetings from Brazil!

[LHaritonov]

@goakajbr

Hello Brazil!

[quebeclaique]

Très belle voix grave.

[LHaritonov]

@quebeclaique

Merci!

[iamzima]

I just can't help smiling looking at this. Shame it's 1969, I'd sooo throw my panties at him ))) Спасибо, это настоящее сокровище! Очень люблю исполнение и Харитонова, и Синявской.

[LHaritonov]

@iamzima

Очень интересно! Спасибо за Ваш комментарий!

[1988acid]

Was this a Christmas fest

[SoviMusic]

@1988acid seem to be :)

@1988acid The New Year

[253REV]

Черноглазая казачка Подковала мне коня. Серебро с меня спросила, Труд недорого ценя. Как зовут тебя, молодка? А молодка говорит: Имя ты мое услышишь Из под топота копыт. Я по улице поехал, По дороге поскакал. По тропинке между бурых, Между серых, между скал. Маша, Зина, Даша, Нина ? Все как будто не она. Катя, Катя высекают Мне подковы скакуна.

[253REV]

С той поры хоть шагом еду, Хоть галопом поскачу, Катя, Катя, Катерина, Неустанно я шепчу. Что за бестолочь такая, У меня ж другая есть! Ну, а Катю, словно песню, Из груди брат не известь. Черноглазая казачка Подковала мне коня. Серебро с меня спросила, Труд недорого ценя. Как зовут тебя, молодка? А молодка говорит: Имя ты мое услышишь Из под топота копыт. 1966

[jeffyoung60]

Leonid Kharitonov is such a magnificient opera singer. Gotta love his voice and the fun he's having singing this folk song. I'm trying to understand this song. It seems to be about a pretty young cossack woman changing out some guy's horseshoes. When she asks for payment he stiffs her but has the nerve to flirt with her and ask her name. She shines him on and coyly tells him that her name will come to his mind when he's riding his horse away. So what did that mean? Is this a love song?

[LHaritonov]

@jeffyoung60

Yes! Exactly! )))

[crazycamel345]

@jeffyoung60 You're right in all parts except for the payment part. She asked for a small amount of money because she didn't value her own work. I think he paid her and then flirted with her.

[grandslam1998]

I was felling a little bit down but after listening to this lovely song I feel happier. Thank you Bravo. Bravo

[LHaritonov]

@grandslam1998

Pleasure!

[jeffyoung60]

How many local Siberian girls fell in love with you because of your deep singing voice and your ability to raise one eyebrow at them? Those girls should have been throwing their panties at you. Have you thought about singing in Las Vegas or cutting a CD record in New York or Los Angeles? By the way, what was your military rank?

[LHaritonov]

@jeffyoung60

Sorry for not answering for so long... Yes, there were a lot of girls who used to fell in love with the artist! ))) And unfortunately he never had any proposals for cutting a CD in New York...

Leonid's military rank was a sergant...
