Konstantin Lisovsky Levko - May Night (Rimsky-Korsakov) Short Version

Konstantin Lisovsky Levko - May Night (Rimsky-Korsakov)
Fedoseyev, cond. (short version)

I decided to re-upload this aria in an edited, shortened form, because Lisovsky is so great, and I didn't want anyone to be discouraged by the long orchestral intro on my other video of this aria.
Konstantin Lisovsky has a warm, rich and velvety voice - perfect for the romantic role of Levko. Also see Lemeshev, for another heavenly Levko.

3.Голос у Лисовского старый, в Опере молодой парень.Если я не ошибаюсь, сын влиятельного человека. По-моему некая слащавость и молодость подходит к кхм...образу.

4.Мне голос лемешева просто нравиться)

@89Stroitel Смею с Вами не согласиться. Очень самобытное, яркое исполнение. При всём обаянии Лемешевской интерпретации, на мой взгляд, это исполнение более мужское, без налёта слащавости и и голос более крепкий, что лучше подходит к образу простого украинского парубка.

До Лемешева, как из Сибири до Москвы пешком.

He was my teacher between 1995-2002.Instead of being a perfect musician he was a great person in person.He was like a father to me.I will never forget him.
