Dmitri Hvorostovsky - In the Silence of the Night by Rachmaninoff

Fortepiano: Ivari Ilja
Moscow 2005
О, долго буду я, в молчаньи ночи тайной...
Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820-1892) , "O, dolgo budu ja, v molchan'ji nochi tajnoj", published 1844
Sergei Vasil'yevich Rachmaninov (1873-1943) , "V molchan'ji nochi tajnoj", op. 4 no. 3, stanzas 1,3
О, долго буду я, в молчаньи ночи тайной,
Коварный лепет твой, улыбку, взор случайный,
Перстам послушную волос густую прядь
Из мыслей изгонять и снова призывать;
Дыша порывисто, один, никем не зримый,
Досады и стыда румянами палимый,
Искать хотя одной загадочной черты
В словах, которые произносила ты:
Шептать и поправлять былые выраженья
Речей моих с тобой, исполненных смущенья,
И в опьянении, наперекор уму,
Заветным именем будить ночную тьму.
In the silence of the mysterious night,
your alluring babble, smiles and glances,
your fleeting glances, the locks of your rich hair, locks pliant under your fingertips -
I will long be trying to get rid of the images only to call them back again;
I will be repeating and correcting in a whisper
the words I've told you, the words full of awkwardness,
and, drunk with love, contrary to reason,
I will be awakening the night's darkness with a cherished name.

We remember, we love, we miss you Maestro!❤

Well, this is marvellous. You know there is a difference in Dmitry's performance at least in 2 recordings of this song on KZbin. Another one is from Cardiff's competition. And both enterpretations are stunning. but this one shoes more tenderness, less young expression and passion than in Cardiff, also more cantilena and belcanto, less attack on the stressed syllables and as always stunning breath control. We miss you, maestro. I wish I could hear you live at least once.

[@joandebruin3847]

Let,s hope we will hear Dmitri singing live in the next eternal life.

Maravilloso.

[@marymarimarie4017]

Perfeito, sem igual. Saudades eternas.

[@po1212Po]

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

[@bfarm44]

I do not not know the translation nor would I care to. I understand that it speaks to my soul and carries me with it. I understand enough to play it over and over and remain mesmerized and on the verge of tears each time.

[@mariyakoshkina3941]

Still you will enjoy this masterpiece more: the translation is includes.

[@bfarm44]

@@mariyakoshkina3941that would remove the magic for me.

[@smaragdavellopoulou1756]

As Dima said ,is his favorite song, also difficult.

[@mariarosariohuntrods5960]

Maravillosa canción, cantada magistralmente por este artista genial, que siempre será recordado

[@flyinghow]

As gorgeous as Hvorostovsky's singing is, Rachmaninoff gave due beauty to the accompaniment in this song, and the pianist plays it beautifully. Bravo!

[@ellatyran]

Gorgeous! He’s a God!

[@faridasarwat6523]

BEAUTIFUL !

[@Nastyfinger1444]

One never goes wrong with Dmitri performing Rachmaninoff

[@eileenplowright-hallplowri146]

Wonderful song, I have sung this! Not normally associated with this composer, very seductive and solubility !

[@lamsalgado]

Absolutely beautiful !

[@davide1976]

Perfection.

[@masalassal]

Lo vi interpretar esta canción en un recital en Bogotá, Colombia, el miércoles 4 de mayo/2011. GRACIAS, Maestro Hvorostovsky, por su arte único y honesto.

[@DNA350ppm]

So true, Hvorostovsky's art is unique and honest, and eternal, too! Huge thanks also from me - he gave us art and memories for our own lives, and for generations to come! May we preserve civilization and peace so they can enjoy this heritage!

[@florida5505]

Merci beaucoup!

That is the longest phrase I have ever heard anyone sing!

[@annereece6607]

[@sanidad27]

last held note was sharp, amazing artist though

[@DNA350ppm]

What does this comment mean, a little more precisely? ... "sharp"??? Is it not meant to be just like Dmitri sings it here, in the script? Has he improvised a bit on that last wonderful note? Would you, or somebody else, please tell us the key this composition is written in? Which note "should" Dmitri sing and which note does he sing here? (Well, it couldn't be more beautiful, it sounds emotionally so right!) Please, kindly help us, who are lacking perfect pitch!

[@shawnash9088]

Wasn't sharp. That's the right note, just sounds off

[@cmuguette4600]

Anybody knowing opéra would not write this stupide comment

[@pianotalent]

THE DISLIKE BUTTON SHOULD BE DISABLED HERE BY THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE KZbin!!

[@bfarm44]

Maybe replace with tears

[@flyinghow]

Preach!
