I was on vacation for couple of weeks and there was no new videos uploaded during this time. But today I am starting a series called "Four encounters with Vladimir Visotskiy" from a Russian TV station. This is the first encounter, first part. There will be four parts in each encounter. In the series there are video materials from other countries like Poland, Bulgaria, Italy, Germany, etc. Enjoy it!

Владимир Высоцкий - В театре

This is unique video taken by the Swedish television. It is part of the Taganka's play "Антимиры" and a short interview with Visotskiy. Enjoy it!

Владимир Высоцкий - Баллада о любви

This is the last song I am publishing from the movie "Баллада о доблестном рыцаре Айвенго". As I mentioned before this is one of my favorite song, one of the best love lyrics ever. The arrangement is a little bit from the original, but it does not make it less worth. Maybe it is how it was supposed to sound - more romantic, but you will never mistaken the voice of a genius. Enjoy it!

Владимир Высоцкий - Баллада о вольных стрелках

I am continuing the series with songs from the movie "Баллада о доблестном рыцаре Айвенго". I received a comment on the previous song that actually it is original Visotskiy's lyrics and arrangement by V. Basner. Enjoy it!

Владимир Высоцкий - Баллада о борьбе

This week I am posting a song from the movie: "Баллада о доблестном рыцаре Айвенго". I do not know if the lyrics is written by Visotskiy, but it is a great ballad. I already published another song from the movie before and there are two more. You will see them in the next two weeks. Enjoy it.

Korotkie vstrechi

This video is actualy part of the movie "Korotkie vstrechi" - ("Short Encounters") in English. The first song is "Dela" and the second is "V Vatikane proshol melkii dozhdechik". Enjoy it.

Visotskiy - Hamlet - Introduction

Here is another video, although it is black and white, the quality is quite good. I don't know if it is from the play "Hamlet" or it is just a concert. But anyway it is original performance, so enjoy it!

Visotskiy - Hamlet

To be or not to be! Here it is. Visotskiy's monumental performance of the famous monologue. The video quality is very poor, but he was awarded prestigious British Royal Theater Academy award for this role. Enjoy it!

Высоцкий - Мой Гамлет

This week, I am posting something different. This is part of the concert in Mexico in 1977, but Visotskiy does not sing, but just cited his poem. Enjoy it!

Владимир Высоцкий - Баллада о старом времени (фрагмент)

I will start the New Year postings with some of Visotskiy's movie's songs. This one is from the movie "Баллада о доблестном рыцаре Айвенго".
