It’s been almost 35 years since I used to play the Red Army Choir record over and over, rattling the windows and driving my parents crazy! I used to search for more of their music, but could never find any. It’s wonderful to be able to hear more of their songs, and see the videos.
Mr. Haritonov’s voice always impressed me, though I didn’t know who he was. Thank you for setting up his website so we can learn about his life and accomplishments.
Dear Valerie.
We’re so glad to hear that the web site has helped you to “rediscover” the Red Army Choir and to learn about the artist. We will share your comments with him--they’re very much appreciated! You’ll undoubtedly enjoy this site as well: http://kappsa.wordpress.com/
All the best to you! Please keep in touch!
Thank you so much! I wish all the best to you too.
He visto su video de “The Bolga boatmen song” me parece una maravillosa interpretacion, una voz fabulosa, mueve hasta la más profunda fibra sensible. Es usted un extraordinario artista transmite fuerza, poder, dolor, orgullo, valentia, vulnerabilidad y por momentos gozo, todo con una virilidad que quita el aliento. Desearía haber nacido en otra época y lugar, tener el privilegio de escucharle en vivo, conocerle. Congratulations, your art is wonderful, you made me feel powerful, proud, strong, but also i felt pain and then hope and joy. I would like to hear you singing alive, it must be a unique experience. God!!! you express the self confidence, the proud and the strength I have always been looking for in a man, and I found it in the video of a wonderful human being that belongs to other place and time, you simply take my breath away. Congratulations again Mr. Kharitonov from a devote admirer i México, Selene.
Dear Selene.
Thank you very much for your warm words and high appreciation! We will pass on your comments to the artist. He very much appreciates hearing from people all over the world who enjoy his work!
All the best to you.
Great post, thanks!
Отличный пост спасибо!
Thanks for your appreciation!
Tonight my friend Matthew shared the talent of Mr. Kharitonov with me. I went on youtube and was blown away by his voice. I have have never heard a voice that compares to his. I never thought of even exploring Classical Russian music, but once I was introduced to it, I am so impressed and in love with it. Thank you for sharing this website, and thank you for the wonderful music
Dear Aubrey.
We’re so pleased that you’ve discovered our wonderful Russian music! And thank you for your very kind words about the artist and our web site. We’re happy to count you and Matthew as “friends and fans”! Please let us hear from you again sometime. And, btw, you might enjoy this site as well: http://kappsa.wordpress.com It’s dedicated to the Alexandrov Ensemble.
All the best to you!
The voice of Leonid Kharitonov is truly legendary; I doubt anyone could challenge his vocal prestige! As a humble Bass in a school choir, I can only dream of being no more than a small fraction of this great man.
What really makes Kharitonov exceptional to me is the vast array of emotions and feelings he expresses in his work. From light-hearted “Dark-eyed Cossack Girl” or mysterious “Night-Parade” to the awe-invoking performance of “The Ballad About Russian Boys”, Leonid Kharitonov never fails to completely submerge himself and his audience in the performance. If someone is not inspired by Leonid Kharitonov, they must not be listening!
Dear Matthew.
Thank you very much for such a warm appraisal of the artist’s work! It’s really great to know that there are young singers like yourself who enjoy Russian classical and folk music! I am the artist’s son, Mikhail, and I will share your comments with my father. He’ll be very pleased to hear them!
I hope that you’ll visit our web site often! We’ll be adding English subtitles to more of the videos, commentaries and other items.
Best of luck with your singing and much success to you!
Sincerely,
Mikhail
Thank you Mr Kharitonov. The power of your voice is not restricted by any language. Bravo!
Eyman
Thank you very much, dear Eyman, for your nice comment. We agree that the beauty of the music is above any language. But we’re also trying to add English subtitles to each of the video performance for even better understanding… ))
I am so glad I found your website and music. You have a very fine and powerful voice that I very much enjoy. My favorite is of course, the Volga Boat Song but The Cliff is right up near the top. I adore The Chrysanthemum and your rendition of it. It makes me teary eyed. I wish you the best life can offer you. Stay healthy, be happy.
Dear Judith.
Thank you very much for your lovely words! We showed your comment to the artist, and he was very pleased and asked to say hi and wish all the best to you and to say thank you for your comments. He would also like to let you know that Chrysanthemums is his favorite song!
We hope you’ll continue to explore the web site! Might we suggest, especially, the first three videos on this page: http://www.lkharitonov.com/video/ensemble. They are the artist’s debut as a soloist in Tchaikovsky Hall. Also, for a charming folk song, you might enjoy At the Draw-Well, which can be found on the Music page. Please visit often, and we’d love to hear from you again!
Like others, I discovered Mr. Kharitonov via a youtube video “Song of the Volga Boatmen (1965)” Amazing performance despite the limitations of 1960’s audio technology. I am delighted now to see that he continues to perform. Absolutely amazing voice. If providence ever brought him to tour the opera circuit in Texas, I would definitely pay money well above the usual fair to see him.
Best Regs.
Dear Richard!
Thank you very much for your very nice comment and your warm words. We will translate it and show it to the artist when there is a chance. Unfortunately, Leonid Kharitonov stopped his touring and concert activity in 2006. But we do hope that you’ll enjoy his media performances and this web site! All the best to you too!
I came across Mr. Kharitonov on Youtube singing the great “Song of the Volga Boatmen” with the Red Army Chorus. It was a powerful performance! I am glad that this website is available so I can research further his singing and career and enjoy his music.
