Has anyone ever heard of an artist called Ivan Rebroff? My friend cannot find any of his music anywhere in the shops. She has a CD she bought in 1991 that showcases some of his music but finding any of his music in the shops is like trying to get blood out of a stone!

Hey there,

Many thanks for the link!  Wink

I have to say the first CD featured on the website is the actual CD my friend has. She has been unable to obtain any further CDs since or found anything in shops or online. I shall e-mail her the link, which she will be satisfied with!

Oh, and she can get her own credit card out!  Grin

Cheers,

Scott.

Ivan Rebroff was the dreadful Count Orlofsky singing the part "falsetto" (and I mean falsetto, not "head") in the Carlos Kleiber "Die Fledermaus".

I heard Ivan Rebroff once, but I am better now Wink

If you want to hear someone from the current generation who does this kind of repertoire, there are three decent basses you might look out for...   Herman Yukavsky sings a lot of the "popular" Russian songs, and sometimes even accompanies himself whilst doing so (I'm not a great fan of this stuff, but his performance of "Ulitsa", as a drunk returning home in the early hours, is side-splitting stuff). Dmitry Schwed (who could be heard as Banquo in the Glyndebourne Prom of Verdi's MACBETH recently) does all the popular ones and some of the "classical" songs by Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Taneev etc too.  Dmitry Skorikov is a talented young bass who mostly does the more "classical" songs (Rachmaninov, Prokofiev)...  a multi-talented guy who can be found singing both Pimen in BORIS GODUNOV, and "Mack the Knife" (complete with a tap-dance routine).
