Евгений Беляев,. Evgeny Belyaev, Boris Shapenko: Evening on the Road

Undated duet by Evgeny Belyaev and Boris Shapenko. The bass is often attributed incorrectly to Alexei Sergeev, with whom Belyaev performed the haunting Bryansk Partisan Song. I have seen the recording described as being from the 1980s but this cannot be as Belyaev left the Ensemble in 1980 and this is definitely his younger voice. Shapenko sounds as rich as he does in the wonderful Cavalry Song (see my Alexandrov playlist). He became a soloist with the Bolshoi Theatre and an Honoured Artist of Russia. A great performance all round.
Music: V.Solovev-Sedoy; lyrics: A. Churkin.
The photograph is mine - not evening on the road but evening on the Trans-Siberian Railway, somewhere near Omsk.
