Hvorostovsky: Rachmaninoff recital 1990 4/12 Do not sing, my beauty

[SamHytt]

Does anyone have the score in F-, E-, or E flat minor? I've been looking for sheet music for this song forever but A minor and F sharp minor are too high for me.

Mes o menys diu així: (...)No em deixi escoltar cantar, bella meva, que amb les seves cançons tristes de Geòrgia; em recorden... una altra vida i una platja llunyana. Per desgràcia, les seves melodies cruels porten a la meva ment l'estepa, la nit i, el clar de lluna, la cara d'un pobre, llunyà, de solter!. . . Mentre et veig oblido l'estimada i l'aparició fatídica! Però en cantar, Un se la imagina de nou, davant meu.(...) Això mateix li diria al Sr.Hvorostovsky...i tant esplèndid com sempre.

Superb music and singing as well. TY Leo for yet another gem.

Now his voice is much fuller,deeper, technically equipped with pinpoint frasing and incomparable breathcontrol. Just compare his old and new recordings(romances,arias(Verd­i espessially, but not just ), and it'll be obvious to you that the newer is mush superior.

Take his artistic growth and superb vocal technique. lyrical is not better than Verdian- just a different genre.

Now this is a gorgeous baritone'in top of his form, able to sing as dramatic as lyric roles perfectly.

Did he ever record this? If he did, I can't find it anywhere, what with all the different translations of the title...

[frufruJ]

@IfYourMomWereATaco Yes, it's on his compilation CD Portrait and first it was released on his early 90's Russian Romances CD. If you prefer his matured voice, this song is also featured on his latest Pushkin Romances. Literal translation of the title is "Don't sing, beautiful girl, around me/near me", but I took all translations from The Lied and Art Song Text Page (thank them)

[po1212Po]

The best interpreter of Rachmaninoff (and many other composers)

[Operndirektor]

A great classical song, really wonderful interpreted! I like this young Hvorostovsky!

[giadafi00]

So beautiful!

[MariadelMonaco]

you know I am not a fan of Hvorostovsky and his voice, and I promised you something, you know what I mean ;). But I must admit he sings this beautiful music very aesthetic and full of heart.

[VVKom]

о какой ошибке пианиста речь??

это форшлаг был!!

[ssatrofma]

This is one of my top three favorites that Dmitri sings. He puts every ounce of passion into each note.

(I wonder if he kept the pianist....)

[rushanaprincess]

sorry for my bad english but i hope you understand what i mean:)

[rushanaprincess]

on minut 1.34 pianist made great mistake even Dmitry made grimas(face) not good...but i like this thing only problem most singer make to pathetic this song but it's have to be sing as simple song of memory about Georgia because Lermontov(poem for this song) he like this country

[arianabyu]

the pianist made a mistake and  that made Hvorostovsky make the face

[Webarton]

Actually the title means, Don't Sing, my beauty, not let me not hear you sing. lol

[frufruJ]

I took this translation from a site dedicated to lieder texts and translations. You're welcome to provide us a better translation ;-)

[Webarton]

I want the score for this piece soooo bad xD

[frufruJ]

Webarton, try IMSLP. It's Rachmaninoff's opus 4, no. 4

[nevskaya7]

Ou, maladoy Dima on uzhe v to vremya imel galos radost slyshit yevo ...

[urmorph]

Thanks for this great series--I share your enthusiasm for both Hvorostovsky and Rachmaninov. But how about a kind word for the pianist? He works hard too!

[frufruJ]

I am sorry, you're right! :-]

The pianist (playing the forte-piano) is О.Бошнякович (O. Boshnyakovich)

[urmorph]

Thank you! Hope you get my e-mail.
