Matvei Platov (1753-1818) was Ataman of the Don Cossacks, becoming a general of cavalry and a count of the Russian empire. He distinguished himself in the campaign against the Crimean Tatars in 1774.Later (1808-1809) he fought the Turks in the Danube Valley. At Borodino, on September 1812, he mobilized over 20,000 Cossacks and harassed the retreating Napoleon´s troops. The Song of Ataman Platov honors this legendary figure. Here I post a rare recording of the virtuoso violinist Helmut Zacharias(1920-2002). Figures posted comprise paintings of Ilya Repin, O.A.Orlovsky, sketches and pictures from the sites :www.freewebs.com/prosithion , www.daggermart.com, www.helmutzacharias.site.ms
