Yes it's Borodin. Same piece became "Stranger In Paradise" from the musical Kismet.

@duaneandfloppy No, it's Pauline Byrne, who also sang on the flip side, Gloomy Sunday

@sherhino P.P.S - also recommend the big band translation of classical opera piece from Samson And Delilah of "My Heart At Thy Sweet Voice" by Larry Clinton (big band) Orchestra, featuring "girl" singer Bea Wain singing in front of them. Best place to find this would be from collection "This Is Larry Clinton", frankly; once on vinyl out of America on RCA, but re-issued on CD in England recently.

@sherhino You should also (go to the trouble) of checking out Marinella (1941) also by Shaw, and the lovely jazz of both Shaw's arrangement of "Tabu" and "Lady Day". If you find any or better yet, all 3 of those, you won't regret the use of your time to track them down.

Pauline Byrne is singing here; and the tune is indeed "Stranger In Paradise" with other lyrics, though.

@blueidblonde881 I am not a teenager - and also agree. So let us listen HipHop & RNB :-(

Very similar in melody to A STRANGER IN PARADISE!

And THANK YOU for posting... a beautiful song and one of my favorite records.

Pauline Byrne is correct. My mistake. And I should know this... I have the original 78!
Why all the pictures of Kitty Kallen? That's Bonnie Lake doing the vocal.

When I made this, for a presentation at the retirement home where I work, somehow I obtained this piece of misinformation and did not know any better. Some people have commented that it was Pauline Byrne.

Yeah for real. Gloomy Sunday is one of my favorite songs. I wish I lived in the 40's. In stead I am a teen age-er growing up in this shit time. Not fair.

Very rough to be a teenager in these days. Stay smart.

I will listen to Gloomy Sunday. I am new to Artie Shaw. I made this clip because I was doing a classical music program at the retirement home where I work and this was an example of a song taken from classical music. In this case the source was the Gliding Dance of the Maidens from the Polovetsian Dances in Borodin's Prince Igor.

Okay, thanks. I am checking on this. Where did I get Kitty Kallen from? I appreciate the correction.
