  • @LJBSasha The finnish composer Kalevi Aho did the orchestration here.

  • Who's the arranger of the original piano accompaniment? Definitely it's NOT the one by Shostakóvich, and it shows (mere talent here compared to the genius the great 20th-century Russian manifests there)...

    Great voice nevertheless; however, for real class (as well as Shostakóvich's orchestration, try Vishñévskaja + Rostropóvich or Khvorostóvskiy + Gjórgijev (BOTH performances are stellar!!!).  [On YouTube, substitute Dutoit (almost as good) for Gjórgijev.]

  • bellissimo timbro e legato.

    un po calante in fase iniziale e in certi punti..

    il direttore poteva tenere un tempo più da serenata.. sembra che avesse fretta

  • Thats so Talvela :)

    thx

  • He sounds so amazing here... wow.

  • The one and only brilliant, stunning Martti Talvela singing a serenade? (Even on behalf of the Grim Reaper?) Resistance Is Futile!!

  • Serenade : " The figure of Death waits outside the window of a dying woman, in the manner of a wooing lover."
