Dmitri Hvorostovsky - Farewell, Happiness, a folk song a capella

[Irjaifi]

Jopa löytyi minulle päivän Dmitri. Meinasin aivan pakahtua voimakkaista tunteista. Koskettava. Hän laulaa kuka osaa. Dmitri osaa. Kiitos!

[loveyoutodeathbut]

It stirs up tender memories of the ones we loved and lost. Thank you for posting that translation. *grabbing tissues*

[Gabry9242]

Great song and heartbreaking interpretation by Dmitri! Although I can't understand a single word (I'm Italian), I feel the deepness and sadness of this beautiful music.

[frufruJ]

@Gabry9242 The lyrics and translation are in the description. Also somewhere here I gave the instructions on how to find the sheet music. Yes, I completely agree with you!

[Gabry9242]

@frufruJ Thank you very much for your reply and explanation about the translation.  Ciao!

This is beautiful. Tears are brought to my eyes.

Does anyone know if there's sheet music for this?

[frufruJ]

@tiwo1008 I DID!! Google:

"прощай радость ноты" russian planet

and the only link that appears should be it. Find "прощай радость" (third song) and click "ноты". (Oh, the wonders of the internet combined with multilingualism... :-) ) It's the notes, the Russian text, the Russian transliteration AND the translation. Enjoy! ;-)

Also, I'll add the link to the description, so that it's easier to find.

Bravo

[MrsMariFly]

Mmm... My lovely song! It's like a fairy-tale...

[OAngelicVoice]

Какой артист! Как поёт!

[silvers0und]

This is a song of man who says "farewell" to his love before going for punishment by a hard labour

[po1212Po]

Russian folk songs are his strongest side.

(But when he sings , say ,Verdi , I think the same, romanses-the same, etc...

[po1212Po]

Truly, he's a glory of Russia

[ezayi]

Fabulous!

[sirush]

speechless...

[Saiaton]

What is it that is so emotional about Russian song? They are a people with 500 years of history to match black Americans, perhaps that is their secret. Out of serfdom and slavery comes this deep tragedy in Russia and in the Blues

[micky9321]

extraordinaire !

[maxinmoscow]

Какая песня! Душа плачет!

[popoffsky]

Гений. Золото. Восторг и слезы!

[Nefertari155]

Strange, such a simple tune (though wonderful) and yet, by Heaven, it is to me one of his most striking performances. As if all his soul and heart shone through this song... it breaks my heart.

[lennoxRU]

words here are also heart-taking, pity not all can understand

[77Opera]

Alors Twilightsire, raison de plus pour apprendre le russe c'est une fort belle langue!!!

[77Opera]

Merveilleusement beau!

[Twilightsire]

Vraiment incroyable, quelle mélodie, quel chanteur! Même si je comprends fuck-all ce qu'il dit lol

[frufruJ]

I've added a translation to the video description. It was kindly provided by urmorph.

[Twilightsire]

Ah, thanks a lot frufruJ, I had wanted to know what were the lyrics for a really long while (since last autumn when I discovered that video...) DH is one great stylist in today's opera world!

[Alexjhs]

Simply wonderful !

[lennoxRU]

bad that people who dont know russian cant fully enjoy the song, as the words here so heartfelt yet intranslatable

[Teqdor]

Super sou sensibility and Beautifully

Thank you thery much frufruJ....

[rexeterna]

where was this?

[frufruJ]

Kremlin palace, Moscow, my old friend :-)

[Kirahayana]

Бог ты мой, поёт он просто гениально...

[ClassicA111]

The girls behind him seem to be REALLY enjoying him)))

[Lindow]

He is definitely one of the most attractive men I have ever senn!

[hymnforlorca]

It's called "Prash'aj radast'". The English title is "Farewell Happiness" and it's composer is anonymous.

[frufruJ]

Thanks! I've added the lyrics to the description, though DH made some minor changes.

[picapin]

out of tune!

[babajaga39]

but it can't be heard...

[Belcore14]

You clearly don't understand feeling behind the music...

it doesn't matter if he went a little out of tune, it's a folk song! He poured his soul into it!

[frufruJ]

Belcore, only for this philosophy, I wish that you become an opera star. I wish you the strenth to pour your soul in all of your songs!

[arunah11]

Magnificent !

Thank you so much frufruJ
