Boris Shtokolov - rise, rise my star, 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 http://www.youtube.com/user/khankonchak 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.

SHINE, SHINE MY STAR
Shine , shine my star,
Star of love, how inviting you are!
You are my only and one light,
there will never be another .
As the night falls down to Earth
lots of stars will shine on sky.
But you're the one, my lovely star ,
shining pleasant rays on me.
Star of hope ,
star of love and magic days.
You will always be here,
by my troubled soul.
And your strong and bright rays
will illumine my being.
Should I die, on my grave you will
shine, shine my star.
