Boris Shtokolov - Black eyes or dark eyes

Boris Shtokolov - Black eyes or dark eyes is quite simply, the most beautiful russian music I ever heard. Shtokolov is in my opinion, and in the opinion of many I know, the greatest bass to ever sing a note. After obtaining the last copies of several of his albums, I decided I had to bring him to youtube, so this music would not be lost to the world, but could continue to be appreciated. For more, continue to watch this channel and subscribe to my dear friend who brought my attension to this almost lost treasure. I would like to take a moment now to discuss the voice itself. Its most striking features are the expressiveness and dynamics. Eveything from love to sadness to joy to anger are honestly articulated. The ease of transition from forte to panio is unmatched by any other singer (except perhaps tenor franco corelli) and unheard of in a bass. The legato is seemless, the diction clear, and the ease and efficeny of production is astounding! To him, it seems no more difficult than a whisper.
