  • At "Blok is great, but EDISON IS EVEN BETTER!!!" I laughed and laughed.... this is such a historic recording.

  • THIS. IS. AWESOME!

  • @kissed61 Oh, shut up,finally!

  • Hilarious!!

    I wish there was some recording of Tchaikovsky and Glazunov talking or just Glazunov...

  • I'll bet they were real lubed up,and ready for a sexy party

  • :-D It seems Tchaikovsky's voice is passionate voice,and Rubinstein's voice is very nice!And Unknown singer's singing voice is better than my singing voice! :-D

  • They all sound totally hammered. I'm sure the vodka was running freely that day!

  • This was bleeding edge technology at the time and these guys were just fascinated - that explains why they were messing around instead of taking it too seriously.
