"Song of the Volga Boatmen" - Leonid Kharitonov & The Red Army Choir (Live)

[@micamika8844]

Russian culture is stable like a rock, the bariton is just fantastic the Choir is from another planet so good. Grande Bravissimo to Singer choir and conductor !!!

[@Татьяна-з6н2ц]

Почему Зингера?!

No, he's not baritone, Leonid is high basso (cantante). )

[@zima176]

Это хор Александрова !!!

[@ПръчкоПръчлев]

The singer may be, but the counductor was worse, the most out of tempo and not in a rhythm and time performance. Rhythmically is like the ocean waves and for this sin is guilty only the conductor!

[@АлексейХилков-и8п]

This is the song of boatmen-workers pulling barges on the Volga river. But in fact, it is about overcoming difficulties. If something doesn't work out, you need to push again. And then again and again. And the power of the spirit will win. The main thing is not to give up, and go forward.

[@deximilijanmalic4124]

Yes, that strength of will our Slavic people, but you also have a famous act of Haulers on the Volga by Ilya Repin that tells all about that.

[@donnamariebock4094]

Sort of like the Red Army after its initial defeats at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.

[@Ezoriel666]

Beautiful indeed.

There is an amazing painting by Ilya Repin that depicts the harshness of the barge puller's labour: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barge_Haulers_on_the_Volga

Russians have always been champions of classical music. And this video is just another example of that.

[@wilhelmvonpreussen]

That's folk music. Tchaikovsky is a master of classical music.

[@wilhelmvonpreussen]

But tis does not diminish this true masterpiece. I love the red army choir. Alexandrov was a master of music in general.

[@Olya57160]

Леонид отошёл в сторону от микрофона, чтобы ненароком не разнести весь зал таким голосом

[@Юлия-с2в4п]

Я тоже заметила, потрясающе!!! И разве можно сравнить с современными эстрадными, обвешанными микрофонами( которые их выдают с головой) , перьями, то в трусах, а то не поймешь, кто на сцене, ужас наводят только. А от этого пения просто мурашки и слезы. А гордость такая, будто я сама так спела.... На все времена кадры нужно сохранить!

Masterpiece. Unique talent. Nothing will cancel the unique and wonderful russian culture.

[@cecilyerker]

The best thing about Kharitonov is that his performance isn't all about him as a performer, rather he strives to embody the spirit of the song because he's singing it in honor of all the burlaks who suffered and died in the barge-haulings of Tsarist Russia. He lives the song, he becomes it.

[@VSX66]

In other words He put soul in what he did :)

[@LHaritonov]

You're absolutely right! ))

[@ogrecco18]

For sure. My grandmother used to tell me about the life of those men, which my great-grandfather was one of them. Leonid takes us to that time , capable of making us feel the wind of the Volga River...

Pirozhki, I always loved this type of music. Here in the U.S., most singers usually just barely go above a whisper, and most songs are boring - except for the music aimed at young people, and that is just a pile of obscenities.

I have Asperger's Syndrome and with it came a narrow set of interests and sensitive hearing. None of the music when I was a teenager held any interest to me, until I heard Russian singing for the first time from the movie, "The Hunt for Red October." I found it captivating and didn't make my ear drums explode. Eventually my search for more led me to you, Mr. Kharitonov. Your powerful and elegant voice at these concerts during your time in the Soviet Army has been my source of relaxation and escape for me and even inspired me learn how to sing, "Varchavianka," and, "The Sacred War." Your country's military history has been fascinating to read. It has all helped learn more about your country's culture and for that I thank you.

Mr. Kharitonov will be sorely missed but always remembered; his incredible voice made a lasting impression on the whole world.

GREAT comment! Reminds me of the post on "The Star Spangled Man" from the soundtrack to Captain America - someone put something like "This song is so patriotic, my parrot listened to it and turned into a bald eagle!" :-D

Шедевр! - песня прожита, а не просто спета. Все этой песней живут - и солист Леонид Харитонов, от исполнения и эмоций которого всё в груди переворачивается, и его коллеги по коллективу с чудесным голосами, и сам Борис Александров. Это на века!

Ich bewundere die russiche Musik und verneige mich tief vor dem Sänger.

One would have to be made of stone not to feel moved by this beautiful song and performance.

Hello! I just wanted to say:If you read this message i wanted to tell you that it is a BIG honor to talk to the son of the great russian singer Leonid Kharitonov, Your dad was one of the singers that no one could copy In the music dark eyed cossack girl they tryed to make it again, But it looked like the singer was forcing himself to sing and didn't looked intrested but when your dad was singing it really looked like if he was happy and he had a big smile in his song, I wanted to say that your dad is a great soviet singer and that no one can reproduce ANY of his musics.

[@LHaritonov]
