Сhe voce bellamente e splendida!!

В русском варианте и особенно в исполнении Сергея Яковлевича присутствует какая-то особая трогательная нежность.Лучший!

[@essevikt]

Абсолютно! Причем, не только в этой вещи. Те музыкальные произведения, которые я слышал раньше на языке оригинала, а потом слушал в исполнении Лемешева на русском языке, открывались с новой стороны и оставляли очень сильное впечатление, а часто просто потрясали. Такова сила его музыкального гения!

Wunderbar. Danke.

@josseruk Yes, I was wrong, because the wrong date was on the CD. I got another CD, where they wrote that it was recorded in 1934 for 'Gramplasttrest'. However, his first Soviet recordings were made for Muztrest in 1931-32 (2 arias from Rigoletto, Che Gelida manina, Werther's romance, Lensky and some others.

[@josseruk]

@younglemeshevist Yes, we agree! And I have remembered that he did record for Muztrest in 1931-2.

[@gmmix]

Elegantly rendered. Thank you for this posting.

[@younglemeshevist]

@josseruk The date is correct, he started his career in 1926.

[@josseruk]

I don't think the date can be that early. Do you know the source of this recording?

[@josseruk]

Thanks younglemeshevist, but I can't see how you can be right. He recorded first around 1927 for Victor, possibly in Harbin. Those ten sides don't include Pagliacci, and also show a darker tone than his later records or this clip. He might have recorded for Muztrest in 1929 but appears in no catalog. The first known (to me, anyway) Soviet recordings date from very early 1934.
