MUSLIM MAGOMAEV "Old Man River" from the musical "Show Boat"

Brilliant!!! Thank you!!!

Great stuff. But, pardon my ignorance, where was this concert held and who is the singer?

"Great stuff. But, pardon my ignorance, where was this concert held and who is the singer?" Muslim Magomaev, a great Soviet baritone. Sang opera in 60ss-70ss along with musicals and pop music. The concert was held in 1988, in Moscow.

He laughs best who laughs last!.. After a couple of DECADES of MORE THAN SUCCESSFULLY perfoming in VARIOUS Genres, the Singer knows exactly what to stick to. I assume that ignorance is NOT a fault, however, cocksureness in jugdements IS, in my opinion. My Greatest THANKS to the Great Singer for his Great performance!

His name is Muslim Magomaev. He was one of the best Soviet Union`s singer and cult figure on USSR popular stage.

Thanks for warm words, Ilalfisto, unfortunately due to Soviet prohibitions lots of singers from former USSR didn't have a chance to be opened by world audience. But Muslim has a good background, he studied in Italy, in famous La Scala Theatre. U can visit his homepage (english & Russian versions) if you wish. Rgds, R.

Memory Eternal, Muslim Magometovich. We shall miss you. r. b. Vostorgina

Number one: Never use the name of God in vain. Number two: Music doesn't know any colour. Number three: This person in his time has got more international awards than your age.

Calm down, man, he's just making a joke.

en que año fue este concierto? interesante la similitud entre los cantos de rio como el ol`man river y el de los del Volga, ambos temas tristes y nobles.

Brilliant!!! Bravo!!!

Thanks. I did a little searching around on the internet and found that he had recently passed away... at far too young an age. He certainly was a great one, and I wish I had had a chance to see one of his live performances. But I have enjoyed what there is on the internet. John - Carson City, NV, USA

It was perfomed of course in the Great Country the USSR with its greatest culture, greatest talants in all fields of klife. This is Muslim Magomaev singing. Born in Azerbaijan, lived in Russia, belonged to the Great Country.

Muslim Magomaev was graduated as opera singer, but he preferred pop songs vs classical repertoire. Once he said that his dream was to get some lessons from Frank Sinatra. Some of Magomaev's fans call him "Russian Elvis" (but he wasn't native russian, he was azerbaijanian)

Thank you for this record! I often had the chance and honour to be invited to the concerts by Muslim Magamaev and to listen to him, who used to be not only a great singer, a very nice person, but also a friend to me.

Wow what an excellent voice and performance !!!! What a damn pity that banal pointless politics has robbed the world of the chance of hearing such a great talent!!! Thank God for you Tube!!

поет Муслим очень даже неплохо

Fant,astico video maravillosa interpretacion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gracias por compartirlo es un deleite para el alma Juanita

I love the Russo-Mississippi accent

Better yet, enter this: Муслим Магомаев "Город Мой Баку"

Greatness does not come into our lives very often. We all need to be reminded that it is out there and we should not miss a chance to bring it into our lives.

Жалко запись не очень хорошая. 

While Muslim (as always) has an amazing voice, and I do love his work very much, I don't quite like the extended lyrics of this version as much as I do the ones in my Robeson recording. I also feel as if the large orchestra and the great amount of polish given to this song sort of diminish its "atmosphere" -- Paul's version, with just the piano backing it, sounds a bit more like something that could have been sung in a poor town by the side of the Mississippi.

Der Mann ist der absolute Hammer. Einmalig.

this singer is wonderfull i prefer him in my way to sinatra

baddass

Espetacular muslim magomaev, interpretando old man River, a mais bela canção de todos os tempos.

Brilliant, Muslim Magomaev, with OLD MAN RIVER, the most beautiful song, in the world.

A mais bela, e forte canção de todos os tempos.

Old Man River, Old Man River, the first, in the world.

❤️

Муслим-Орфей планеты Земля! Завораживающий по красоте и чувственности голос, высочайшее сценическое искусство - это Муслим! Пленяет слушателей навсегда!

The most beautiful song of ALL times.
