Dearest Dimitra, our beautiful Greek WEB-friend!
Nice to see You here!
For You, Dimitra, Russian choral art! (Our Belgium's friend Robert sent me link)
|
Here are two short extracts of an exceptional record of Russian choral work (which includes anonymous ancient liturgical chant, popular folk songs, and music by well known Russian choral composers, such as Tchesnokov and Gretchaninov), introducing some of the lowest voices in the world. The two singers here are Vladimir Pasuikov and, with an even lower voice, Viktor Wichniakov, one of the most famous Basso Profondo, who are unique to Russian singing. Their vocal range is at least one octave below the normal bass range (think Paul Robeson). In the first extract the bass hits the low Ab1; in the second the bass hits a G1. Not only do they possess the lowest notes of any choral singer, but the soloists have such full voices that the effect is immediately striking.
Enjoy those exceptional samples of the magnificent Russian choral art! |

P.s. You wrote"Dear Lydia, today I learnt in a hard way that when we make a new forum here and click the "notify all members" button, this means that only a few will be notified for the existence of this forum. I was pretty sure that all my 994 friends would be notified! Better late than never but I'm sorry I made my good friend Branka unhappy."
As far I understand, You made new thread in Branka's forum
If anybody makes new thread in not own forum, nobody will be notified, as far I know.
It will be better, if B. will make new thread in her forum, then all members will be notified automatically, and then You or anybody else can assist her to monitor thread
