Zahvaljujem Bogu na ovim divnim umjetnicima

What a voice and the backing singers make this the most beautiful song on the internet. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

Kein Instrument dieser Welt kann einen so schönen Klang hervorbringen, wie diese menschliche Stimme.

Love or hate Russia and its people , but this song typifies the struggles and suffering of its people over the centuries. So sad and yet so beautiful.

I cry every time I listen to this song.

If this wonderful rendition of one of the most beautiful songs in the world does not make the tears flow down your cheeks - then you are not human. Could only come from Russia!

wundervoller Gesang, so groß und weit ist das Land und so schön ist sein Gesang. Ein schöner Traum.

fantastic . I love it .... greetings from Norway.

The story of this song is tragic: In Siberia in 1852 they found a dead body of coachman who got frozen during a long road. There was a notebook with handwriting poems in his bag. Name of the author of the poems Иван Макаров (Ivan Makarov) was not known during his life time. After a year since they were published the poems composer Александр Львович Гурилев (Alexander Gurilev) (1803 - 1858) wrote music for a poem what he liked the most. That was a start for the famous Russian romance “The Lonely Coach-Bell”. In three years another Russian composer К. Сидорович (K. Sidorovich) wrote his version of music for the poem and this romance has got a long life and all people love!

何と素晴らしい曲、素晴らしい演奏者たち。この完璧さをどう言葉で表したらよいのだろう。背景の画像も美しい。心のすさんだ日本の若者たちにこの歌と演奏者たちを知ってほしい。一人でも多くの人に広めてほしい。

This song comes from the heart and goes to the heart

Волшебство песни заводит; а фантастическая гарминия с миром умиляет. Просто параллельный мир

Never heard, such a beautiful song, this man is so great! And I read the story, from that coachman.. Is there more music from this sanger? I listen so often to this song! Makes my mind soft..

Tisíc krát ďakujem za túto nádhernú pieseň.

Nowadays he sing with the ZLATOUST ensemble.

könnte es immer und immer wieder hören,einfach schön

Jedna z najpiekniejszych i zarazem moich ulubionych piesni.Super wykonanie!!!!

Awesome! For non speaking Russians, this song is about a lone passenger traveling on a Russian Troika (horse and sleigh). All he hears is the sound of the little bell on the horse/horses as they hurry in the quiet snow. It's a long journey and, still a long way to go with nothing but sound of the little bells and his thoughts. He reflects on his life .. as if speaking top the coachman, braving the cold, guiding the horses. He's very tired .. life has not been good, yet it's not been bad .. just life! Hence, slow tempo, plus photos of real life in Russian AS IT IS TODAY STILL.

This Song is wonderfull,great and phantastik.Greatings from Germany

Magnificent Choral. High quality and tecnical group. The solist singer is incredible!

Great song from this russian choir, i like it very much, what a beautiful voices.

I never heard more beautiful singing. Would really like to know something about those singers!

Аж прослезился...Спасибо!

Ive been to Moscow and St. Petersburg...cannot wait to go back...indeed a beautiful place with a beautiful language

el tenor canta espectacular, maravilloso!. La intencion en su interpretacion vocal es excelente!!

Yes, it is the most beauiful song in the world. I only wish that the nations of the world could get together in music rather than warfare.

This is so beautiful.....so beautiful......Thank you for sharing....this Masterpiece....!!

Close to the most beautiful thing I ever heard !

Welch eine sehr gute Stimme,und dazu eins meiner Lieblingslieder.

First time I heard this was Akira Kurosawa's version of The Idiot. Its what is playing on the public address as the two main characters walk through the snow. Stark, beautiful and unutterably sad.

welch schöne Stimme und es ist eines meiner Lieblingslieder :-)

Nach Ivan Rebroff hat er es am schönsten gesungen. Es ist eines der schönsten Lieder was je gehört habe. Ich liebe diese Lieder und höre sie jeden Tag.

This melody goes deep under my skin!!!

Absolutely fantastic. Can listen to it over and over again. Thank you for uploading.

MERCI !!!

This is a breathtaking beautiful song you would have to be 10,000 years dead not to be moved by this glorious and specular song. Thank you for sharing it with the world. Patrick

This music is painfully beautiful, as is that mans voice.

yes,this is true very beautiful and sooo heartful.

Beautifull performance of excellent tenor in context of very good choir .. Would like to hear tenor and choir some time in Moscow. I saw and heard more lyric and epic tenors performing this song .. This song is on repertoire of some choirs in The Netherlands. The song is - as many Russian songs - much of Heart and Soul ..

Was soll man dazu schon sagen ...........Gefühle pur und eines der schönsten Lieder die ich kenne

Mir fehlen die Worte - sooo schööön, einfach nur Gänsehaut pur, dankeeee ღ ღ ღ

Krasno ! Pozdrav iz Slovenije !

I was unhappy with available translations of this song, so here is mine: The Coach Bell In the distance a bell, faintly sounding Through the dust rising up from the road And a coachman is heard singing sadly, That I ask, what that song might forebode. So much sadness there is in that sound; So much grief in that lonely refrain That my heart which was hardened and weary In my breast was re-kindled again I recalled nights long gone, other places And the fields and the forests so dear That my eyes which so long have been arid Became moist with a glistening tear In the distance the bell, faintly sounding Is an echo from times so remote; And my coachman, now silent and weary And the road fades away with that note.

This is absolutely beautiful. Thank god there's songs and singers like this around. Made my scalp tingle. Truly moved me.

I totally agree! This goes right to the soul! I could not help weeping with the sublime music, lyrics, vocals and film. Lynda Hagen said it better than I. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Best wishes!

The most beautiful version of this song on youtube.(in my opinion)

zo mooi , zo prachtig , krijg je kippenvel van .100% genieten

An incredibly beautiful song and the voice of the lead singer is spectacular. I am in tears

I have visited Russia for the last four years, stating in Moscow and visiting my wife's family in a village north of Astrakhan. Fantastic places and people. Listening to the song makes me feel as if I am stool there. Can't wait to return.

The Most Beautiful Song I ever heard! This is a russian spirit and peace.

Danke für die wunderbare Musik. Ich habe das Lied das erste Mal in 1947 in Leipzig gehört. Was wäre die Welt ohne dieses Lied und die Künstler. Thank you - Danke - Tack

Absolut einmalige Stimme, es geht nicht besser !!

Simply Haunting! Thank you Russia.

I’ll never forget the first time I heard this song. I was seeing Akira Kurosawa’s film The Idiot. They took Dostoyevski’s novel and turned it into a tale of postwar Japan. The two main characters are making their way through the snow, while this is playing over the towns P.A. System.

Traumhaft schöne Stimme da kann man ins Träumen kommen.

Soooo beautiful.... I listen to it of the the funeral of my grandma in Tel Aviv.

Самое лучшее исполнение!!!! не хочу терять это.....

Не сентиментален, однако плачу вместе с хором и солистом, потому что невозможно не плакать и не сопереживать. Открой мне тайны жизни и смерти, о дорога в степи!

Perfecto! Wracked with the loss of a young life, this offers something absolutely beautiful. Thank you!

Oh, how lonely the coach bell is ringing, And the dust from the road fills the air. And the coachman’s sorrowful singing Floats across the wild fields in despair. That sad song overflows with such feeling, So much grief can be heard in that strain, That my cold heart, long hardened and weary In my bosom was kindled again. I recalled other nights, other wand’rings, And the fields and the forests so dear, And my eyes, which so long have been arid, Became moistened like jewels with a tear. Oh, how lonely the coach bell is ringing, As it swings in the night to and fro. And my coachman has now fallen silent, And I still have a long way to go

Just overwhelming! Great Russian soul!

This guy is the best singer I have ever herd He gives me goosebumps

You can't help but be mesmerized by this song.

.Absolutely awe inspiring

Here's a translation of the words Oh, how lonely the coach bell is ringing, And the dust from the road fills the air. And the coachman’s sorrowful singing Floats across the wild fields in despair. That sad song overflows with such feeling, So much grief can be heard in that strain, That my cold heart, long hardened and weary In my bosom was kindled again. I recalled other nights, other wand’rings, And the fields and the forests so dear, And my eyes, which so long have been arid, Became moistened like jewels with a tear. Oh, how lonely the coach bell is ringing, As it swings in the night to and fro. And my coachman has now fallen silent, And I still have a long way to go

This song is both amazing and beautiful.

Espectacular, el arte y en este caso el canto, no tienen color de piel en ninguna parte del mundo. Que voz mas bella...

Music for the Russian soul. Just breathtaking !

Много лет слушаю здесь исполнение Владимира и говорю себе, что ВСЕВЫШНИЙ подарил нам его, чтобы мы, слушая удивительного артиста, полюбили Жизнь еще больше!!!

This is the most amazing example of blended harmonies. Love that the vibrato is precise and restrained, not hammy like college students. this really is a treasure.

In my youth, childhood we sang a most beautiful hymn to this melody. I still love it and appreciate the singer as the instrument that makes it possible for me to enjoy it after more than 50 years. Thank you very much.

in een woord geweldig.

Fantastic!!

Very beautifully done! A wonderful folk song rendered all the more enjoyable thanks to an equally marvelous video composition! Well done and thank-you for posting! Dan

This is so beautiful, it makes one realise their good fortune and it is soothing despite the sad overtones.

This is one of - if not the most beautiful of all Russian "folk" ballads. It usually goes by the English title, "Monotonously rings the little bell", or something similar. Monotonously is a good translation - the Russian word literally means "with once voice". This song is often performed/published in combination with other popular and well-known folk or folkloric style Russian songs. It's one of my favorites. It has all the elements of the melancholic Russian disposition - a (village church) bell ringing in the distance, a person leaving their home perhaps never to return, a coachman singing this monotonous melancholic dirge, fleeting memories of youthful joy, etc. I sang it once (po russkiy, konyechnah) for a folk dance assembly - and sort of know the words, but not everything without a cheat sheet. Another one - also about a bell, also beautiful, and also very sad - is "Vyecherniy Zvon" (The Evening Bell). There are a couple of tunes for the latter - but one is more commonly heard than the other - and the more common tune is another of my personal favorite. And while we're at it, check out "Stenka Razin" (Stenka Razin, the Volga boat commander) and "Denadtsat' Razbojnikov" (the legend of the twelve robbers) - a couple of other really excellent Russian ballads.
