Vladimir Pasjukov - The Twelve Brigands (Remastered version of a rare recording)

A rare recording of Vladimir Pasjukovs rendition of the Twelve Brigands, remastered for power and clarity. The final note is an impressively powerful G#1 !

The lyrics (Russian, written using the Latin alphabet):

(Refr.) Gospodu Bogu pomolimsia,
drevniuyu bïl' vozvestim,
tak v Solofkah nam rasskazïval
inok chestnoy Pitirim.

Zhïlo dvenadtsat' razboinikov,
zhïl Kudeyar ataman,
mnogo razboyniki prolili
krovi chestnïh Hristian.

(Refr.)

Mnogo bogatstva nagrabili,
zhïli v dremuchem lesu.
Vozhd' Kudeyar iz pod Kieva
vïkral devitsu-krasu.

(Refr.)

Dniom s poliubovnitsey teshilsia,
nochyu nabegi tvoril.
Vdrug u razboynika liutovo
sovest' Gospod' probudil.

(Refr.)

Brosil svoih on tovarishchey,
brosil nabegi tvorit'.
Sam Kudeyar v monastïr' ushol
Bogu i liudiam sluzhït'.

(Final refr.) Gospodu Bogu pomolimsia,
drevniuyu bïl' vozvestim,
tak v Solofkah nam rasskazïval
sam Kudeyar -- Pitirim.

Does anyone know the lyrics? I can't find them anywhere. :(

@SamuelKGB Please see the description...

How in the world could I get a cd of this guy? He is incredible! Are there such recordings available?

[gudpeder]

@lonemapper He can be heard on several tracks found on Male Choir of St. Petersburg CDs.

[Aleksei5]

WOW, Hvor fant du denne innspillingen? Jeg ønsker å laste ned den! Hvordan remaster du gjøre opptak? Takk for videoene dine! :))))

[gudpeder]

@Aleksei5 og @KjeXXXer : Hvis jeg får e-mailadressene deres i en personal message, kan jeg sende dere noen MP3-er med de remastrede sangene mine!

[ggalexhutchings]

well, never thought i'd come to a basso vid and be blown away by a high note. that's a first.

[hymnodyhands]

Thank you, Mr. Holman and Taviskaron15! Mr. Pasjukov is and always will be my favorite basso profondo. His singing reminds me of the singing of elder churchmen that I loved as extra "grandfathers": unmistakable masculinity and powerful, passionate sincerity, combined occasionally with touching signs of human imperfection. Thus I have grieved for Mr. Pasjukov with some of the feeling of loss I have felt for "singing grandfathers" who have passed... but this recording has brought me comfort.

@KjeXXXer If he has an A4 he can probably go higher. That's pretty much the hardest note for a bass to hit. Above the passaggio you're in the clear whether you're a bass or a soprano.

[KjeXXXer]

@ajwolf Of course, Wichniakov has been recorded up to A4, which is tenor range, and later plunging to E1 in the same song, just because he fucking can. :D It's in another one of Gudpeder's vids, be sure to check them all out.

[KjeXXXer]

@KjeXXXer Also he recorded an earth shaking version of Sergey Rachmaninov's All-Night Vigil aka Vespers with the male choir Slogasie. Go to Aleksei5's channel and search for 'male choir accordance.' Fantastic beauty.

[KjeXXXer]

@thomsonyeh Male Choir of St. Petersburg!

[KjeXXXer]

@GrantKingMusic He stood about 190 cm or thereabouts. Vladimir Miller is at 195 cm, I seem to have read, and Pasjukov was a little 'shorter' judging by photos.

[KjeXXXer]

@lonemapper What GudPeder said. Those records can be on Amazon and on the Musica Russica website, which also offers sheet music and whatever else you might fancy in the way of Russian church music.

[jfichter69]

you can tell just by looking at him he had high levels of testosterone.... his voice is a result of it I think! hehe

[GrantKingMusic]

I commented once before and think this is the most incredible version of this. Especially the roar on the last verse. Just curious, how tall was he?

[SamuelKGB]

Whoopsies... :/
