The Bells (Rachmaninoff) I. The Silver Sleigh Bells

I preffer the russian version too. It has more "force".

It sounds very pretty and beautiful, but I could do without the opera singer

@MagicMan7645 lol

I find it somewhat weird that the principal trumpeter in this recording is a woman (Susan Slaughter). It's equally as cool.

Superb !!

Ugh, in English :-( I only like the version in Russian!

I wonder what it's like living in that small box.

I joke. Native languages are always more appropriate, but when its in English then I don't have to look at Wikipedia at the same time to understand their poetry :)

If I were to conduct this, I'd have a small section of extra brass players, in one of the balconies, come in right at 5:06, and of course slow the tempo down quite a bid. Wouldn't than make for an incredible effect?.

[weikko79]

To tell you the truth, I don't think so. What is more, you probably wouldn't be allowed to decide about such a thing, even if you were conductor.

[moosatious]

Well, maybe I could get the military on my side. Then I could do it.

Enterado que la version original es en ingles , y muchas gracias por la informacion.

[JorPove]

Seria interesante conocer una version en lenguaje ruso,de seguro de mas impacto,ddo que la musica de los compositores rusos tienden a introducir temas cercanos a su propia cultura tan rica y compleja

No seguro si hay una versión rusa, el poema fue originalmente en inglés.
