Every year on June 12th we celebrate Russia Day, so I decided to share this little video from our latest Russian for Singers concert which took place on May 28th 2021 at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
Sergei Rachmaninoff Сон (Dream / Son) Op 8 No 5
Natalia Melnik (Soprano), Benjamin Burton (Piano)
И у меня был край родной; Прекрасен он! Там ель качалась надо мной… Но то был сон!
Семья друзей жива была. Со всех сторон Звучали мне любви слова… Но то был сон!
Translation: I too used to have my homeland, It was beautiful! There a fir tree swayed over me... But that was a dream!
The family of my friends were still alive. From everywhere loving words Were spoken to me... But that was a dream!
