Ivan Rebroff - The very best of

These two CDs were produced for the BBC to go with the BBC Radio 2 programme "Ivan Rebroff, The Russian Bear from Berlin"

Please tell me if I have got some of the languages wrong here, because unlike Ivan I am not fluent in six languages! Unless you count C++, 6502 etc. :-)

1. Evening Chimes (Abendglocken) low notes(164K) high notes(202K). A good show of his range, but with a severe lack of consonants! Scarily, someone has done a house version of this tune (!).
2. Poj Zyganka (Spiel Zigeuner). A traditional, whirling tune.
3. , Song of the Volga Boatmen (Lied der Wolgaschlepper). Sombre traditional tune.
4. Somewhere my love (Theme from Dr. Zhivago). A ballad.
5. Havah Nagila. Jewish staple.
6. Ol' Man River extract(144K). American spiritual about the Mississippi.
7. Im Tiefen Keller. Treated light-heartedly.
8. Kalinka Malinka. Traditional.
9. Two White Doves (Zwei Weisse Wolken). Ballad.
10. La Calunnia (Verleumdungsarie) - from "The barber of Seville". Opera.
11. Perestroika. A more recent song celebrating the opening up of Russia.
12. Ach Natascha. A whirling Russian tune in German.
13. Grosser Alter Don. Another peon to a river.
14. On the way from Petersburg to Novgorod. A ballad, but with James Bond balalaikas?!
15. Dark Eyes (Otschi Tschornyie) (Swartz Augen). Sweeping tune.
16. Cossack Patrol (Pojuschko-Polje). A stirring, galloping song.
17. Schto Nam Gorje (Unbekemmert). A reflective song with a Spanish guitar background, that gets faster.
