Opera

Hello hello hello. A week ago I was listening to ClassicFM and they played a Russian folk-music type song. Now I'm too late to check it out on their website, so I was wondering if you could help me with identifying it. The only phrases I could really hear were 'Я люблю вас', 'я пою (для) вас' and at the end 'счастье'. I know it isn't much, but it was very operatic...

Russian folk and Russian operetta are the two big differences. :D (C) Одесcа
You should watch "Принцесса цирка" if you like operatta. There are real great opera voices.

Цветы роняют лепестки на песок
Никто не знает как мой путь одинок
Сквозь ночь и ветер мне идти суждено
Нигде не светит мне родное окно
Устал я греться у чужого огня
Но где же сердце, что полюбит меня
Живу без ласки, боль свою затая
Всегда быть в маске судьба моя

The Russian folk is something like this:

Я цветочки поливала
На балконе леечкой.
Почему-то стал вдруг мокрым
Дядя на скамеечке.

Heh...I believe there are several hundred songs that fit that description :wink:

I liked that one Я спросил у ясени song the terrible guy who couldnt sing was singing. Mainly because it was him singing. He also sang Ваше благородие. :lol:

Och, ne'er mind. I do know the difference between folk-music and opera, but let me explain: the singing was operatic, the music was operettatic, and there were some folky influences like balalaikas and such.
It was a stupid question anyway.
