Wow! I want to see this film. Heartstoppingly beautiful.

Please, can you tell us who that lovely soprano is?

May Night is one of the world's great masterpieces, here sung by a master. Levko is such a gorgeous role.

Thank you so much for posting this.

I don't know who is this soprano (mezzo), but Sergey Yakovlevich recorded "May Night" with Veronika Ivanovna Borisenko

[jkircher314]

Yes, mezzo. Sorry.

I know the Lemeshev recording. There are two more recordings of May Night that I'm aware of, too. One with Golovanov, and one with Fedoseyev.

Can you kindly tell me about this film? Is there much more of Lemeshev in it? Again, thanks so much for posting this.

[kornevgen]

There is recording with Tchistyakov and Bolshoi soloists also :)

This movie is "Muzykalnaya istoriya" ("The music story" may be english version of its title). Lemeshev song also Lensky and some songs in this movie.

A magnificent musical gem- Thank you

Это ДАР БОЖИЙ! И Сергей Яковлевич сумел благодарно принять его, сохранить, пронести по жизни, подарив радость людям. Мыслимо ли нечто подобное в нынешней России!? Увы, некому принять и удержать в руках дар Божий. А если бы и нашёлся, то Басковы-Галкины-Верки-Сердючки­-Боримоисеевы-Розенбаумы поотбивали бы ему руки (а заодно и голову, и ноги).

CurzonRoad-Glad that you enjoyed it Doug. This very much pleases me as he is my all time favourite Russian Tenor.

Один из лучших теноров всех времен!

Действитильно великолепно. Спасйбо!

[If I remember correctly, this film was released in the United States in 1940. I believe it was called "A Musical Story." If it is still around, it is rare. One might check the Bel Canto Society.] I'll take a look and see what I can find, and post the info. if I find it.
