Another "Russian-exile" tango of early thirties, composed by Oskar Strok and recorded by Pjotr/Pyotr/Piotr Leschenko/Leshchenko/Leszczenko/Lescenko for British Columbia.
To the middle part of the melody, the composer inserted a piece of the old Russian romance - "Otchi tchernye" - extrememly popular and once recorded by Pola Negri, a photo of whom and two labels of her records may be seen in the video.
Pola was said to have "black eyes" which was not true, they were blueish-grey.

  • Thanks for this passionate tango, especially how it "segues" into that old favorite Ochi Chernye, which my mother used to sing.

  • @barbcard

    I heard that "Ochi intrusion" from my Grandma first, as a whole song - inspirations came later.

  • Легендарная вальс ( музыка и слова Оскара Строка) в исполнении "золотого" голоса России Петра Константиновича Лещенко( 1898-1954). Вальс был очень популярен в Советской России в 1930-1940-е гг., хотя официально был под запретом . По воспоминаниям фронтовиков Великой Отечественной(1941-45) , этот вальс согревал душу и давал надежду в той страшной войне. Петр Лещенко умер в румынской тюрьме Вечная память.
