[78-L] Van Cliburn

[Michael Biel]

While looking to see if someone had ever uploaded the studio recording
from the Van Cliburn Moscow Nights 78, I came across this fascinating
story of the song -- in Russian -- but you can see what the song means,
see the two composers at work, and actually see Cliburn SING the song at
4:11. There is a little bit of the original Vladimir Troshin original
recording starting at 1:43.  At 4:45 they are sleeving Melodiya LPs and
following that is a version with English lyrics, shots of a Magnacord
PT-6 tape recorder like I used many years ago, and then at 6:50 is the
wonderful Shablicha radio tower that I visited in Moscow, and a rather
primitive radio control room and turntables!

We've been discussing him on ARSCList and Facebook and I hadn't noticed
that there was nothing on 78-L. I posted a photo of the Moscow Nights
78 that I bought in Moscow's Dom Knigi (House of Books) on Novy Arbat in
1995.

It is a studio recording, not the concert recording that was on LP and
Youtube.
