Hear Oda Slobodskaya's amazing speaking voice as, in her own words, she introduces Three Russian Folk Stories for Children. The pianist on the recordings is Ivor Newton and in the photographs, Alfred Niemann.
Both pianists accompanied her in delightfully entertaining song recitals until the very last years of her life.
@AmitEshbal wow good question.. the translation is it is a story about a woman and old man who didnt have any children ... man went outside and killed a bear with a hatchett. he brought the paw to his wife to make him soup. then they went soimewhere in the village i guess baba yaga crossed their path. look in stravinsky fairy tales.. i heard this song before many times
