in all the old Russian choir, Cossack choir, there were powerful basso Profondos, an old Russian tradition, among other things also because you did not use organs in Russian churches therefore the voices had to cover the entire octave range
My heart aches to think that never again shall the earth hear the voice of Mr. Vladimir Pasjukov in person... and from this very recording I had guessed that Mr. Pasjukov may have known a little more about the struggles of age, pain, and suffering than his fellow profondos. But I think that he knows now the fullness of the answer to this heartfelt prayer... and will delight the saints, the angels, and his Creator down through eternity with his joyful, "profound" praise.
@Shogunmiyuchan Of course they are not the same person. Why would they? They don't even have the same surename! They are both basso profondos, but it's quite easy to distinguish their voices from each other.
@fuitbag But Mr. Pasjukov could sing with great power and musicianship notes above the staves. Just listen to his version of "Twelve brigands": at 3'32'' or something like that, you may hear a musical earthquake.
May he rest in peace. His outstanding majestic voice offered a new world to me and always inspired me in a great spiritual way which I can`t discribe. I´ll honor his present to us in a very respectful way!
I can just agree: Every basso in the world will weep with you. He inspires me every time I hear records from him. Thank God for him and his wonderful voice!
I am reminded of the British bass - quite a decent singer - who toured Russia. He was successful in his concerts until he decided to compliment his hosts by singing a Russian folk song with some low notes. He came off stage utterly shattered, for he realised that the audience knew the song well and were singing with him. Only they were singing it the octave down.
@Elsynore It's really hard to find any information about him, I would also like to know more. I believe he is retired though; at least he no longer performs with the Male Choir of St. Petersburg, so he's probably considerably older than 43 years old. I would guess maybe around 55-60.
@gudpeder NO: Takk for svaret. Jeg synes at han likne veldig ung som bestefar met et oldebarn fra 1988. Men unge bestefahrene eksisterer også. Kanskje har du rett.
Det er uheldig nor han skal opptre ikke lenger. Jeg hoper at han har bare ikke utført for en gangs skyld. Kanskje har han nur for travelt den kvellen?
UK: Thank jou for your answer. In my opinion he looks alike very young for a grandfather, with a grandchild from 1988, but young grandfathers exsists too. Maybe you've right.
Ahhh...The powerfull voice of Pasyukov. His voice is indeed very deep! His low range seems infinite as he goes down, crushing every low note with great power but still with delicate musicality! He is retired, but with the legendary sound of his voice, he left a legacy as one of the finest basso profondo in history.
What a great singer! Probably they who not like this great voices and aaalways comment on wrong places, would take a shit some other place. Not here. Please. Why are they watching this link anyway? If possible, - erase the green comment in start. Give a damn about people who maybe ALWAYS must comment shit about everything. Thank you, - for the tune.
Fantastic! What a voice:)) -As always, some nobody must destroy a nice link as this with a bad comment. Why are these peoples inside her anyway? -Please find some other place to do a shit, wherever you like. But, not here. - Again - nice video.
It's just like dang guys, how about instead of constantly comparing yourselves to this man (you don't compare btw), just sit back and admire what he has to offer you! He has a gift, and he's sharing it with you. Stop comparing presents, DANG.
@verriegelungenmann yes someone is messing with the sound. so disappointing. I heard it a while back too and it was louder and really filled up my room. Now its so soft I can't actually enjoy it.
The human voice is the most expressive and powerful instrument there is and pasjukov brings it to a whole new level of emotional depth. he has one of the clearest tones of any basso i've heard.
I know that, when I have a cold I go from my natutral baritone to natural bass. What happens to a basso profundo when he has a cold? ! That must be unbelievable!
@Loiginer Haha, indeed. I live in Canada. Plenty of cold to go around :)
But what I was referring to in my previous comment was, what happens when a basso-profundo has "une malade", an illness of the "common cold" variety; I was wondering just how much lower his bass
Hate to ruin the idea, but you actually lose notes off of the bottom of your range as a bass. You also can't get the warm resonant tone a bass is supposed to have... if anything you sound like a tuba filled with glue.
Chuck Norris is squealing in terror. His high notes like at 3:40 are really good too. His technique must be amazing. I have a vibratto like his. It's very rapid, but I'm a baritone/tenor, so it doesn't sound as good. This guys balls are probably the size of baseballs.
i struggle for the talent that Pasjukov possesses. i only need to be able to project my low notes better then maybe i could come close to matching his greatness
i love some of the comments a little further back about people saying they can "hit"certian notes, but the fact is, this so called hitting is probably a feeble grunt, as though they have to go outside in the rain. to anyone claiming they can rival this singer in power or depth, you cant otherwise you would be the ones who are famous
As the Basso Profundo ages, I have noticed that there is a lack of air or ability to sustain notes. The lower part of the range is denser in sound. The voice does lower with age but the strength suffers.
Splendid video, thanks. I can hear it perfectly well, I think there is NOTHING wrong with the sound. Why do some people like thundering speakers?This is not rock.

omg this is so beautiful im a bass in highschool and a freshman but i can only go down to like an E below low C right now i hope to b able to go that low one day
@RAAMerisima thanks, i looked it up, and yes i use vocal fry, but after using it for 5-6 years, i've become quite adept with it, and i get a very full sound from it, i'd say about 90% full tone
No need to thank me, but, you're welcome. I actually can't use the vocal fry to my advantage... If I use it, then I can't project any note... I'm only able to use it to scare little kids... ;P
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@mnsanabu Actually it's not THAT difficult my friend...
Maybe it sound funny, but I hate vocal fry, believe me... I don't use that crap. I don' consider vocal fry to be music o singing, I sing, I know what I mean, seriously, I didn' say I could sing as he, I can reach his notes, different stuff.
@RAAMerisima wat? not that difficult? and if u sing and u say u can reach those notes why aren´t u kind of known?, stop saying crap, cause maybe u say u sing, but u sing popular easy crap, be in a choir is diferent we create harmony by making each note of a chord between all the voices and then creates the harmony, so don´t say crap please! or maybe u can show me ur hability with one of ur videos please (:
I do not intend to ofend you mate, I CAN reach those notes, I'm telling you I do not have the experience to be famous, I sing in a choir, Kantorei Cedros-UP... The youtube videos are quite crappy (sniff!) I'm not awsome. I'm not saying I'm famous... I just reach his notes
@RAAMerisima well then, i feel like rubish, cause i can´t reach those notes, maybe all the world can but not i, im sorry, i can maybe do those notes but not that perfectly tuned and powerfull, can u?
No jajaja... I only reach them, is what I've been saying the whole time, I can't projrct them the way he does... I mean he's awsome, I want to be able to sing like him... And don't feel like rubish... I can't reach a note higher than the central RE
@RAAMerisima you seem like you might actually know what you're talking about. I also sing bass in a men's group. My speaking voice is not terribly low, but since i was about 18 i've been able to hit notes far lower than i feel i should be able to, although they aren't 100% clean, is that the vocal fry you talked about in a previous comment?
In this piece, the highest note he sings is C4 (1:54). Maybe he is able to go even higher. Perhaps he is like a normal bass, but with an extension at the bottom end of his range.
I mean look at Ivan Rebroff, he has an extreme range both in the low and the high end.
@gudpeder He's actually not singing @ 1:54, the rest of the choir including counter tenors are hitting those notes. The highest note in the solo is at 3:41 (sorry, don't know how to link that up). I don't know what that is, but it's still quite low and sounds like it's at the upper end of his range...
@Shalott99 Yes, and it's a Bflat 3. But, in his recording of "Twelve brigands" (on youtube), I heard him sing a D flat (above the stave, in F clef), and that sounded uttermost impressive by its power. I had not realized (or I had forgotte,n) that, as a basso profondo, he could reach such notes.
@1donpizarro Thanks for replying to me - because I haven't been here in a while and hadn't heard the sad news. And it is sad, so many of us just learned he existed in the last few years, thanks to Youtube, and never got the chance to hear him live. I wonder if he knew he had a little unofficial fan club here? Not to mention 66/67 is too young to be passing on...
So if I can sing this now, and I'm 18, does that mean I'll be able to sing even lower continuing till my 30's? If what williebeaty is saying is true that is.
It's very possible, I could sing higher in my teens than I can now in my 30's. I'm a mezzo but in choirs went from soprano to Alto 2! The voice also becomes fuller and darker with age, I also think experience has something to do with it.
Seeing as you don't know my voice, you cannot say that. Yes, I believe his voice is lower then mine, but the fact that he is much older then me and that my voice is going to continue to deepen gives me the logical thought that I will be able to sing this.
@MrHolden67 I can't project the sound as he does, I mean I love how he sings, I don't say I can sing like him, I just reach his notes, and by the way tiby... I agree, I've been singing since I'm 4 years old and I never thought someone MY age could reach these notes, but... I trained, a lot, I mean a LOT jajajajajaja.
In the video "The Male Choir of St. Petersburg (Russia)" you can see him at 3:26. I think he appears in some other videos as well, but I don't remeber which.
The user is called EricAmada. Pasuikov also appears in "Male Choir of St. Petersburg (Russia)" (not the same as the previous video I spoke of) posted by the user "BariTenoreDram".
@bloodsling I still hear it in stereo, and I've testet it on two computers with different YouTube usernames. I think there must have been something wrong with your speakers, or maybe a temporary error in the YouTube system...
Odd- he drifts a tone flat over the course of the recording, and drags the whole choir with him! You would think the conductor would have noticed something was slightly odd.
I know! It is very strange... But you don't notice if you don't listen carefully. Maybe it was intentional, maybe he wanted to go even lower so the song seemed even sader.
in all the old Russian choir, Cossack choir, there were powerful basso Profondos, an old Russian tradition, among other things also because you did not use organs in Russian churches therefore the voices had to cover the entire octave range

It`s not so special tho hit this notes, but to project it loud and powerful like pasuikov does.
Haha, imagine him in a singstars battle...always one or two octaves lower than the original song (=

@DonSchanteloni
That would be awsome jaja.
I agree with you, it's about projecting the sound as powerful and loud... I can´t do that YET... Sniff!

@RAAMerisima thanks, i looked it up, and yes i use vocal fry, but after using it for 5-6 years, i've become quite adept with it, and i get a very full sound from it, i'd say about 90% full tone

No need to thank me, but, you're welcome. I actually can't use the vocal fry to my advantage... If I use it, then I can't project any note... I'm only able to use it to scare little kids... ;P
RAAMerisima 2 years ago
@DonSchanteloni
I'd like to correct you.
It IS special to hit these notes.
It is SUPER special to hit these notes while creating a real full-bass tone, instead of rattling (distortion) without much tone.

@mnsanabu Actually it's not THAT difficult my friend...
Maybe it sound funny, but I hate vocal fry, believe me... I don't use that crap. I don' consider vocal fry to be music o singing, I sing, I know what I mean, seriously, I didn' say I could sing as he, I can reach his notes, different stuff.
RAAMerisima 2 years ago
@RAAMerisima wat? not that difficult? and if u sing and u say u can reach those notes why aren´t u kind of known?, stop saying crap, cause maybe u say u sing, but u sing popular easy crap, be in a choir is diferent we create harmony by making each note of a chord between all the voices and then creates the harmony, so don´t say crap please! or maybe u can show me ur hability with one of ur videos please (:

I do not intend to ofend you mate, I CAN reach those notes, I'm telling you I do not have the experience to be famous, I sing in a choir, Kantorei Cedros-UP... The youtube videos are quite crappy (sniff!) I'm not awsome. I'm not saying I'm famous... I just reach his notes
RAAMerisima 2 years ago
@RAAMerisima well then, i feel like rubish, cause i can´t reach those notes, maybe all the world can but not i, im sorry, i can maybe do those notes but not that perfectly tuned and powerfull, can u?
Jamez5cz 2 years ago
No jajaja... I only reach them, is what I've been saying the whole time, I can't projrct them the way he does... I mean he's awsome, I want to be able to sing like him... And don't feel like rubish... I can't reach a note higher than the central RE
RAAMerisima 2 years ago
@RAAMerisima you seem like you might actually know what you're talking about. I also sing bass in a men's group. My speaking voice is not terribly low, but since i was about 18 i've been able to hit notes far lower than i feel i should be able to, although they aren't 100% clean, is that the vocal fry you talked about in a previous comment?

Vocal fry... how to explain it... Remember the movie Grudge?... The ghost always makes a noise with vocal fry

@RAAMerisima IMO, Russian basso profundos don't even need to know what vocal fry is.

G4? Bullshit!
Jouwl 2 years ago
In this piece, the highest note he sings is C4 (1:54). Maybe he is able to go even higher. Perhaps he is like a normal bass, but with an extension at the bottom end of his range.
I mean look at Ivan Rebroff, he has an extreme range both in the low and the high end.
watch?v=3x0aB9m32mQ
gudpeder 2 years ago
@gudpeder He's actually not singing @ 1:54, the rest of the choir including counter tenors are hitting those notes. The highest note in the solo is at 3:41 (sorry, don't know how to link that up). I don't know what that is, but it's still quite low and sounds like it's at the upper end of his range...
Shalott99 1 year ago
@Shalott99 Yes, and it's a Bflat 3. But, in his recording of "Twelve brigands" (on youtube), I heard him sing a D flat (above the stave, in F clef), and that sounded uttermost impressive by its power. I had not realized (or I had forgotte,n) that, as a basso profondo, he could reach such notes.
1donpizarro 5 months ago
@1donpizarro Thanks for replying to me - because I haven't been here in a while and hadn't heard the sad news. And it is sad, so many of us just learned he existed in the last few years, thanks to Youtube, and never got the chance to hear him live. I wonder if he knew he had a little unofficial fan club here? Not to mention 66/67 is too young to be passing on...

They should transpose this down a step... lol it would be even MORE epic.

So if I can sing this now, and I'm 18, does that mean I'll be able to sing even lower continuing till my 30's? If what williebeaty is saying is true that is.
WhiteNitE521 2 years ago
It's very possible, I could sing higher in my teens than I can now in my 30's. I'm a mezzo but in choirs went from soprano to Alto 2! The voice also becomes fuller and darker with age, I also think experience has something to do with it.
Shalott99 2 years ago
noone can sing like this in his teens. I thought I could, but than I realised that I wasn't really... he's even lower.

tiby2403 2 years ago 29
Seeing as you don't know my voice, you cannot say that. Yes, I believe his voice is lower then mine, but the fact that he is much older then me and that my voice is going to continue to deepen gives me the logical thought that I will be able to sing this.
WhiteNitE521 2 years ago

@MrHolden67 I can't project the sound as he does, I mean I love how he sings, I don't say I can sing like him, I just reach his notes, and by the way tiby... I agree, I've been singing since I'm 4 years old and I never thought someone MY age could reach these notes, but... I trained, a lot, I mean a LOT jajajajajaja.

Is there any video that can present pasuikov in bone&flesh?because I can't imagine a man with that outstonishing voice!
bega99 2 years ago
In the video "The Male Choir of St. Petersburg (Russia)" you can see him at 3:26. I think he appears in some other videos as well, but I don't remeber which.
gudpeder 2 years ago
The user is called EricAmada. Pasuikov also appears in "Male Choir of St. Petersburg (Russia)" (not the same as the previous video I spoke of) posted by the user "BariTenoreDram".

Odd- he drifts a tone flat over the course of the recording, and drags the whole choir with him! You would think the conductor would have noticed something was slightly odd.
OlDoinyo 2 years ago
I know! It is very strange... But you don't notice if you don't listen carefully. Maybe it was intentional, maybe he wanted to go even lower so the song seemed even sader.
