Russian romance. "I MET YOU..." Русский романс. Boris Shtokolov.

You can also listen to this romance in this page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HV5do6qmQL4
Unfortunately I have only 2 films made after his death. And the last concert at 73 y.o. He died 2 years later. (1930-2005).
There are many films made in the prime of his life in our
TV archives but they dont translate them on TV or radio. They prefer to translate rude, vulgar pop shows where one cant hear voices & beauty melodies.
at the USSR period we could often see Shtokolov on TV & listened to him on the radio.
I was very happy to present at his concerts alive at the concert hall in Moscow, in Leningrad.
Everybody was delighted & with the smile of happiness on every face! It seemed as if only one person applowded. He was also a good actor.
I will remember that parties for all my life, so as my parents.
Its amazing that even for those who dont know Russian they understand Shtokolov without words! Many thanks to their sensitive souls.
Im very sorry, but my English lexicon is poor to write about Shtokolov.

The solist of Leningrad theatre here sais:
"Public adored him with his romances with his russian songs. When he sings russian folk songs I wish to cry", - she sais.

How is the russian name for the song?

[muuha14]

@drakonimetal Я встретил Вас = Ja fstretil vas ;-)

bob60 :

I agree with you. This is Shtokolov in his prime with wonderful technique. Too bad that they never let him out to sing in the West.

[muuha14]

But he sang in the West.

Maybe not often...?

Огромное спасибо всем, кто оценил. От этого радостно на душе и тепло на сердце!

[muuha14]

@drakonimetal the text by A.S. Pushkin, the Great Russian Poet

[MrArdelco1970]

great vocal!

[ThoutfulOtter]

@drakonimetal. Yes. It means "to meet [accidentally once]" as opposed to встречать, which means "to meet [accidentally on multiple occasions]". Good luck with your studies.

Nice song.

[drakonimetal]

@muuha14 Встретить is the infinitive? I'm learning russian. Привет из Бразилии. =D

So nostalgic, so beautiful, so... Russian. I wished I could understand, but even so, it’s amazing. Thank you for posting it.

@muuha 14. Thank you so much for posting this, and many other beautiful songs by Boris Shtokolov. I recently discovered him on YouTube, and I can't get enough of his wonderful, rich voice, so full of love and expression. I also enjoyed reading your comments about him too. Your English is fine. It isn't a matter of "perfect syntax", but of communication - the most important thing. Your thoughts and intent are clear. I have now subscribed to your channel, and look forward to more!
