André Rieu & Trio St. Petersburg - Polyushko Pole and Kalinka (Live in Berlin) by A. K. Etman published on 2015-03-17T01:46:58Z Polyushko-polye (Russian: По́люшко-по́ле; IPA: [ˈpolʲʊʂkə ˈpolʲɪ]) is a Soviet Russian-language song. Polye means "field" in Russian, "polyushko" is a diminutive/hypocoristic form for "polye". It is known as Meadow land or Meadow lands in English. The music composed was by Lev Knipper, with lyrics by Viktor Gusev in 1933. The song was part of the symphony with chorus (lyrics by Gusev) "A Poem about a Komsomol Soldier" (Поэма о бойце-комсомольце) composed in 1934. The original lyrics are sung from the perspective of a Red Army recruit, who proudly leaves his home to keep watch against his homeland's enemies. "Kalinka" (Russian: Калинка) is a Russian song written in 1860 by the composer and folklorist Ivan Larionov and first performed in Saratov as part of a theatrical entertainment that he had composed.[1] Soon it was added to the repertory of a folk choral group. The refrain of the song refers to the kalinka, which is the snowball tree (Viburnum opulus). It has a speedy tempo and light-hearted lyrics. The main refrain (Kalinka, Kalinka...) increases in tempo each time it is sung. One of the best-known singers of this song was Evgeny Belyaev (1926-1994) who was considered to be one of the best singers of the piece. André Léon Marie Nicolas Rieu (born 1 October 1949) is a Dutch violinist and conductor best known for creating the waltz-playing Johann Strauss Orchestra. Together they have turned classical and waltz music into a worldwide concert touring act, as successful as some of the biggest global pop and rock music acts Genre Classic Comment by Ali Jbareen 🔥 2024-04-19T06:20:24Z Comment by ross awesome 2022-01-11T15:20:17Z Comment by User 993689816 Beautiful👏👏👍👍 2021-11-27T01:20:12Z Comment by comprehensiveanticipatorydesignscientist4livingry magnificent! 2021-02-14T23:44:57Z Comment by Schwerpunk beautiful 2020-10-17T21:49:04Z Comment by Hosein Bnz sensational❤🔥 2020-09-19T13:25:42Z Comment by AMIR HADES عالی 2020-08-20T09:40:08Z Comment by carla excelente golpe 2019-08-20T13:31:41Z Comment by mahmood196819 Very very nice 2019-07-14T20:46:15Z Comment by nima hashempanah in the name of "آزادی" 2015-10-07T08:19:29Z
