Kolekce: Ruská lidová hudbaPodkolekce: The Best Russian Romances
At later stage gipsy singers abandoned traditional popular songs in favor of Russian romances. The Russian composers of that time pretty often used diverse national melodic elements - Spanish, Italian, Oriental - and imitated correspondent performance manner, gipsy way of singing, in the fi rst place. Its emphatic expression, drastic change of themes, excessive emotions and passionate openness were extremely genuine and original. Nowadays brilliant Russian romances - “Blue Eyes”, “Long Road”, “Don’t Rush Your Horses, Coachman” and many others - are defi nitely associated with gipsy way of singing and sung by gipsy ensembles on a regular basis.
The CD presents the authentic phenomenon in all its diversity. Different singers and variously composed ensembles present their own interpretation of Russian romances, town songs at the turn of XIX-XX centuries, modern songs related to gipsy fate. But easily recognizable singing manner of Russian gipsies pierces the whole album. |
