Tango "Volga, Volga ", Saxophon Orch. Dobbri !

[vojtekwawa]

Najpiękniejszy pieśń rosyjska

[tyjeffries]

Very evocative of another world and time ...beautiful xx

[kozjevime]

At the time of this Tango, bolsheviks were murdering Millions of Russian and Ukrainian SHEEP without any problem in GULAG SLAUGHTER factories.

Shame on Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, Balts that they never exposed their murderers.

[barrow29]

@kozjevime they had all died by the time they could do anything

[dumowska]

piękne tango, mój wuja zawsze je śpiewa w języku rosyjskim.

How do You find polish cover-version:

"Pośród wichrów i zamieci,

pośród wycia, świstu kul,

bronią Lwowa polskie dzieci,

znosząc rany, śmierć i ból.

A gdy wokół grzmią armaty,

Na placówce pełnim straż

Nie porzucim swojej chwały,

Bo Lwów był i będzie nasz!..."

[jurek46pink]

Thank you - I find it interesting and engaging.

However... Lvov is far away from...Volga river.

[badinera]

dziękuję, to piosenka którą śpiewała moja prababcia i babcia śpiewa ze łzami w oczach, wspominając Lwów, Stanisławów. Dla mnie piękna sentymentalna pieśń. Niezwykłe wykonanie, ktoś gra nawet na pile :)

[Maxaram]

Thanc you so much for Volga.

Its for me soo much. My mother sing me in a last day of his life, this song to rememeber his voice. For me its a last testament of my mother.

Bless a God You

[jurek46pink]

A moment of special importance - thank you.

[parlophonman]

Orchester! Das hört mann nicht alle Tage, einfach Fabelhaft!

Piekna Jurku!

[Tesia1983]

Piękna, cudna muzyka.

[fedtrooper]

Volga Volga was the name of Stalin's favorite movie. Does the song have any connection to the flick?

[jurek46pink]

Absolutely - not.

[awzujsil]

Moja muzyka marzeń.

[tatjel]

Bardzo fajne! Łza się w oku kręci!

[scratchy45]

Lovely stuff (music & images both)!

We play that tune on mandolin, slide guitar, and bass.

"Volga, Volga- Mat' Rodnaya,

Volga - Russkaya reka,

Ne vidala ty podarka ot stepnogo kazaka"

Folk russian song about Stepan Razin, the discoverer of Sybiria. Great presentation. Thank you!

[agneyvefunb]

> the discoverer of Sybiria

it was Ermak, not Razin ;)

[BytomGirl]

Spasibo, prekrasno!

[gmmix]

Beautiful music. What is the name of the record label? I don't recognize the label. Thanks for this posting.

[gmmix]

Oops...just reread your About This Video and see that it's Polish Parlophon. Thanks again for this great music.

[jurek46pink]

Parlophon (Polish edition, 1929), however recording is probably taken from German Beka matrix.

[merrihew]

Great record, excellent sound, wonderful pictures.

[jurek46pink]

and the 3rd tango with Volga in the title on YT within one week !

[kspm01]

For some reason or another, suddenly the Volga river is the star in quite a few videos these days. This one is a wonderful nostalgic piece, greatly orchestrated. Dairyman715 recently posted another tango by Dobri's Saxophon-Orchester, issued on Beka. It's likely this was indeed licensed from a German Beka original.

[dzheger]

This gorgeous orchestration sounds so traditional yet so unique to me. The song sounds familiar and I believe it had a Hebrew version which was sung in Israel in youth associations years ago. Where did you get these wonderful old cards of the Volga ?

[jurek46pink]

Some from my 'archive' some found 'on-line'.

We find here more and more sources and liaisons of Jewish/Hebrew music and vice versa. This is originally traditional song of Russia.

[60rep]

I like the saw!

Recorded June 14th, 1929, from Beka B. 6840

[jurek46pink]

Great details; hope duly confirmed...:-)
