If Manly Men Could Sing..........1999-12-11

I chose that title to convey the rough power of this great baritone's voice. His sound is quite far from the carefully refined Fisher-Dieskau and may not be to everybody's taste, yet the listener will be moved by the emotion and power which are bound together in this amazing sound. Once you play this CD on your own stereo, you will understand how imperfect the sound samples on this website are. Born November 6, 1911 in the town of Vladikavkaz, Pavel Lisitsian was actually Armenian, not Russian. From 1940-1966 he was a leading baritone with the Bolshoi, famous for roles such as Prince Yeletsky, Eugene Onegin, Amonasaro and Escamillo. When he sets his voice to song literature, we frequently hear the dramatic sound he employed to bring those stage characters to life. This particular collection of songs is a super value, offering a generous amount of wonderful material for a low price. The most famous songs of Tchaikovsky & Racmaninoff are here, vignettes of romantic ecstasy and desolation.

One of the great voices.......2002-05-14

This album is a real revelation. Lisitsian was mostly neglected since he was active during the closing days of Stalin's rule and the ensuing Cold War Years. But wow! What a voice! His Italian repertoire (in Russian!) is nice, but the real gems are the songs and Russian arias. The Venetian Guest's song is one of the great recordings of the century. And Pavel's "Yeletsky's Aria" from "The Queen of Spades" (Tchaikovskii) is worth the price of the album. Hvorostovsky's version is lovely, but listen to how Lisitsian caresses the first four notes--Ya vas lublyu (I love you). What a wondertul artist!

From the heart singing.......2000-06-16

This is a singer to treasure. He has a beautiful and rich voice with a special timbre...but, there are other beautiful and rich voices. His real and deep appeal for me comes from his authentic and from-the-heart singing completely free of false emotionalisms. My impression is one of honesty of intention and realness of expression. He rivets attention and bathes the heart and ear in his artistry.

That vibrant voice gives you goose-skin-Quite outstanding.......1999-10-30

This voice is so resonant and alive with ardour and passion that it is a real pleasure to end an evening with it. I also like Gobbi and Tibbet, but -wow, this is an exciting voice that hopefully will never be forgotten. I recomend this disc wholeheartedly.
