  • Sad to have lost such a personality, voice. Historically, it's interesting to hear Talvela so close to the untimely end. He was a brilliant artist and seems unlike any a soloist here, but rather like any other committed musician in the pit. It is rare to fine singers with these qualities today. Thanks for the upload

  • I think it is the arrangement of Kim Borg

  • NO, this is NOT the Shostakóvich arrangement!! That one's much better than here - this one's overdone!!

    Shostakóvich, much as he gives plenty of work to the brass and percussion, nevertheless knew where to draw the line at using them too much - this arranger in that way shows his inferiority...

  • Is this the Shostakovich arrangement? A wonderfully dramatic, moving song cycle.

  • Lullaby : " A mother cradles her sickening infant, who grows more feverish, then dies. "

  • Thank you....

  • thanks for this!
