Mussorgsky Song Cycle - Vladimir Rosing

 

Mussorgsky Song Cycle - Vladimir Rosing (Myers Foggin, piano)

I'm already in love with Rosing's rich, colourful voice, and this song cycle really demonstrates his range, but is anyone able translate the titles of the songs from the Russian for me?

Song Titles in Russian/Cyrillic

P.S. You can hear Rosing's son Val crooning in my post of British singers from the 1930s.

These recordings from 1937 were released orginally by Parlophone, then again by American Decca. The order is different on the Melodya LP but I think the titles are ---

Death's Cradle Song
Death's Serenade
Trepak
Field Marshall Death
Savishna
Gopak
Yeremoushka's Cradle Song
The Orphan
Gathering Mushrooms
The Star
To the Dnieper
The Goat
(not sure on last one)

For lots more information on Vladimir Rosing see the excellent Wikipedia article.

I've just found your blog and love the stuff you're posting - Dido and Aeneas made my day at the office yesterday.

The zip associated with this post however seems to be damaged - might you repost?

Hi Bishop: what kind of office is this, where you get to listen to Purcell?

Like your blog by the way - downloading the Brahms as I write this!

Fixed this link now. Hope you enjoy it!
