  • WoW! Magnificque! Is he still alive? The SInger?

  • Mark Reizen died on November 25, 1992 in Moscow at age 97. He had a distinguished and very long career. This song was recorded for a TV show at age 85.

  • mark reizen is great. let us not forget the accompanist though. i don't know his name but he is feeling the music just as much as mr. reizen. they are BOTH absolutely fantastic in their own right but together they made magic.

  • You are not the first to ask about the pianist, and you are right - he deserves credit. Please see modified information, also comments of one year ago.

  • Who's the pianist? Does he deserve to go unmentioned?

  • Sorry for the omission. The pianist, Vladimir Khvostin, made with Reizen the two LP set and TV program including these songs, as well as a 1975 LP of Tchaikovsky songs. He recorded with other famous artists including live jubiee of Zara Dolukhanova. I was told that unfortunately this talented artist died relatively young. I was unable so far to find more information about him.

  • Achingly beautiful, to the final remarkable note.

  • un très grand artiste

  • There can be no doubt: Mark Reizen was the soul of Russia. How immeasurably moving his singing was. And yes, the pianist, Vladimir Khvostin is marvelous, too, in these recordings.

  • 85 ans? Chapeau !

  • wow

  • Unbelievable! Kudos and bravos!

  • What musicianship!! Wonderful.

  • Incomparable. Reizen's singing and musicianship were a dream come true.

  • one of the saddest performances you are ever going to see. the way Reizen depicts the meaning of the song is masterly, and it is a real shame there is not a translation here (I had to compare it with another version).
