Вадим Швыдкий, бас - Александр Меркулов, фортепиано Vadym Shvydkiy sing russian folk song by Alexander Pushkin “The prisoner“ Alexander Merkulov, piano Prisoner I'm sitting by bars in the damp blackened cell - The juvenile eagle, who's bred by the jail, My mournful friend, with his wings stretching wide, Is picking at bloody food right by my side. He’s picking and looking at me through the bars, Like having a thought that is common to us, Like calling to me with a glance and a sight, And wanting to say, “Let us fly outside! We're free proud birds; it is time for the friends To fly to the white of the rock in a haze, To fly to the blue of the sea and the sky, Where evenly dwell only tempests ... and I!“ Live, Essen, Germany, Kreuzerkirche 9 Juli 2019
