Sergei Lemeshev Sings Sleep, My Beauty, From Rimsky-Korsakov's May Night

The fact that May Night is not performed in the West is a real loss for music lovers outside Russia. It is full of beautiful melodies, from beginning to end, and this aria, “Спи, моя красавица,“ (Sleep, my beauty!) is one of the prettiest imaginable. Sleep, my beauty, Sleep sweetly. May joyful, light sleep descend upon you! Do you think of me? Are you are lost in reverie about me? I think about you day and night. Keep dreaming your sweet, sweet dream! Oh my beauty! Dream of us together!
