Fortepiano: Ivari Ilja
Moscow 2005

СОН
Aleksey Nikolayevich Pleshcheyev (1825-1893)
Sergei Vasil'yevich Rachmaninov (1873-1943) , "Son", op. 8 (Shest' romansov) no. 5 (1893)

Музыка С. Рахманинова
Слова А. Плещеева (из Гейне)

И у меня был край родной;
Прекрасен он!
Там ель качалась надо мной...
Но то был сон!

Семья друзей жива была.
Со всех сторон
Звучали мне любви слова...
Но то был сон!

THE DREAM

And I had a native land:
how beautiful it is!
There, a fir tree swayed above me. . .
But it was only a dream. . .

The family of friends was living then,
words of love surrounded me.. .
But it was only a dream!

  • Actaually, the pianist's right name is Ivari Ilja, not Ilya

  • Depends on the way you transcribe it to English - as "j" is often read as "дж" in English.

  • Fantastic! I really need this song's sheet music as sung by Dmitri (I believe in D Flat). If anyone can scan it and send it please PM me.

  • The original sheet music is on imslp. I believe DH transposed it two semitones down, both here and at the other concert (1990). I may be wrong, though... Anybody more sure?

  • *An octave* AND two semitones, of course :-)

  • Unbelievably beautiful frufruJ, music and singing ! Thx a lot!

    Dmitri Hvorostovsky is the Fischer-Dieskau of the russian lieder! Both great great great baritones needs that their legacy be preserved for the benefit of mankind. I always say: Hvorostovsky is greater than we can now realize---KRegards---Luiz Augusto

  • Thank you for a beautiful comment, Luiz.

  • @frufruJ Written "for Tenor" according to Rachmaninoff. Not that it matters much, but it was not a specifically somprano song.

  • The best interpreter of Rachmaninoff (and many other composers)

  • frufruJ: thank you for posting this most beautiful song. Too short yet saying so much.

  • just one word....Fantastic!!!

  • My pleasure frufruJ! Actually it´s me who must thank you and all our friends who are contributing so much to our lives! You and the other contributors like you (you´re always kind and an excellent moderator w good replies for the ones who make "bad" excesses) Are Making History! This is the future of the Web! KRegards---Luiz
