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.

[bisbigliandosciolto]

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

[vhan2007]

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.

Astonishing. Top F# at the end of a long phrase, without a breath.

From a bass.

Who's 85 years old.

Astonishing.

Achingly beautiful, to the final remarkable note.

un très grand artiste

[guirlandes3]

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 !

[komarno1]

wow

[paulostroff99]

Unbelievable! Kudos and bravos!

[Uruguruh]

What musicianship!! Wonderful.

[guirlandes3]

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

[kingjonnyvii]

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).
