Dmitri Hvorstovsky - Rachmaninov's She's as fair as the moon

[elsafralves]

not as the moon, but as the noon. :)

ona kak polden khorosha

[Amfortaz]

Dmitri has sung this wonderful song so many times. But every time he sings it he puts everything into it, as if it is the last.

[konotoso]

A wonderfully seductive song, magnificently sung.

[Sospirato]

very rare song, very beautiful song

[bodiloto]

-5 !!!!! LA MUSICA DI RACHMANINOV E PROFONDA COME IL MARE , per me la voce di CHVOROSTOVSKY e molto chiara !

[frufruJ]

Should be "She's as fair as Noon" (the second line is: She's as mysterious as midnight.)

But thank you VERY much for uploading!

[libetta]

hi. anyone knows if these Rachmaninov songs are/can be played by solo piano performance? i only know of 'lilacs' as both song and piano piece the same time

[Phaidra69]

What a voice and what an expression !!!!

It is a love song , one of those masterpieces of music Rachmaninov knew so well to write !!!

it needs good breathe support ,a very good low register and above all a big soul !! I do also like Obraztsova' s interpretation in this song , which is so wonderful ! i envy those who sing it , bcs it is not for my voice . The Great Sergey wrote it either for baritone or mezzo - soprano ...what a pity .....

[Farmingwell]

beautiful

[smartsteve]

Dima Horovstovskiy ofcourse not dima bilan!

[ika6toze]

Она как полдень хороша

Она загадачней полночи.

У ней неплакавшие очи

И не страдавшая душа.

А мне, чья жизнь борьба и горе

По ней томитьса суждено!

Как вечно плещущее море

Б безмолвный берег влюблено...

[victoriamadeus]

Dima...as charming as always...beautiful.

[tenorismo]

Rachmaninov knew the human heart.

[BrucknerEnthusiast]

For anyone who doesn't know it, this is the ninth song from Rachmaninov's Op.14 set, and musically related to the second movement of the First Symphony (Op.13).
