Yes there is this peculiarity of the "soviet Singers" known for their high placed tenor voices and to the average listener it may sound rather unusual(but only because they did not have the chance to be exposed to this more often.The truth is equally for the soviet Bass and bass profondo.Let us see how many of us really know such great singers as Shtokolov was easily arguable the greatest singer ever be it West or East,

Lemeshev is an example of perfection and example of the West's ignorance.

...through the years the voice just keeps growing on me, he must be one of my 5 or 6 favorite lyric tenors ever. Recently my grandparents moved to a neighborhood where there lived an elderly Jewish Russian who adored Lemeshev. I think through him even my grandfather has learned to appreciate the great Lemeshev. Now sometimes even he admits with the occasional remark, "Well...I don't like Soviet tenors but I guess Lemeshev was OK..." Hopefully someday he will come to love him as much as I do.

Блистательно! Спасибо.

When I look back, it's amazing how much I've grown to simply love this incredible voice. My grandfather hates Russian tenors with a passion, and growing up with him rambling about their faults did not help me to appreciate them, as you can imagine. The first time I listened to Lemeshev on a recording (I was about 13), I listened with a closed mind and thought the voice to be too high placed, etc. However, two years later I listened again this time with a mature attitude and loved it...cont.
