41 ans déjà que je t ai vu pour la première fois cela a passer comme un courant d air mais je n oublie pas les petits moments que j'ai passer avec toi tu es un ami fidèle et sincère 1 coeur gros comme ça ojourdhui bien que tu ne soit plus la je ne passe pas 1 journée sans t écouter merci à youtube et à tous tes fans tu es mon anti dépresseur repose en paix Yvan tu vivra éternellement dans le coeur de tous
I only know the german title: "Eintönig hell klingt das Glöckchen". I have seen Ivan Rebroff in concerts in Odense (Denmark) in 1971 and 1984. Both were unforgetable!
Criticism of a beautiful falsetto is ridiculous. Pavarotti used it occasionally, along with many other male opera stars (mostly tenors), even the great Caruso. Rebroff's falsetto was not only beautiful - it issued from a basso profundo voice capable of singing notes lower than almost any other bass.
Thanks for your comment, John. Sadly, I was unaware of Ivan Rebroff until I heard him sing on this vintage television show; his vocal versatility is amazing.
Well you got to love Ivan Rebroff because of his wonderful deep voice but let me tell you that he was Australia. He did his show in Sydney of October of 1982.
Simply amazing how many octaves he can sing in. Oh did i mention the effortless change in octave and pitch. Pity most of his work i have found is mainly folk as it would be amazing hearing him do arias, like Joseph Schmidt.
He really was his best back then.I never heard the last one before.After all these years I can still hear something new from him.If you know the name of it,let me know.Thanks for posting.
Thanks zzz100ist --from a translator you say that his mother was a Russian emigrant called Natalia Nelina so he was, therefore, half Russian. Wow 3 years ago I commented but now and again listen to him singing and I'm really old enough to remember him on the Rolf Harris Show...love Sir Rolf stuff too lol!!!!
@Medusa49@Medusa49 I'm gambling here as your post is over a year old but the piece he performs after Kalinka is called Odnoswutschno Gremit. Not to knock the version he does here but the original recording is jaw droppingly brilliant.
Ja, his brother was a fighter ace in the Luftwaffe. He apparently shot down some VIP with the French underground. I saw Ivan Rebroff in concert at The Orpheum in Vancouver in May, 1979. A consummate performer.
Well, good for you, now I really enjoyed listening to these two pieces and if your dulcet tones are any way near as good as this fellas then you need to get on the TV so that we can all enjoy your singing as well,,,,
@Medusa49 It is a Russian song called by various names since it does not seem to directly translate. Try Softly Rings the Lilttle Bells but the word softly can be replaced by monotonously. He finishes with a third song in this medley. On this he starts off quite flat but finds correct pitch after a few bars. I am certain it was not intentional since adds lilttle. The later fireworks wipe out the memory of the flat notes.
@Medusa49 After the medley he sings Vechernye Zvon which became a signature song for him. Later in his life his technique improved tremendously and this allowed him to move more seamlessly from chest tone to his falsetto for the high notes. It is quite common for well-trained singers to have a 3 octave range with perhaps an half an octave added in the falsetto. Rebroff could extend his falsetto far higher than normal though.
@Medusa49 As far as I know its called Odnoswutschno gremit kolokoltschik Look at youtube 'Der Zar und das Mädchen' by Mireille Mathieu or 'Kleine Annabell' by Ronny, there it is made to a pophit.
"On the show tonight" it might have been even more fun if old Ivan had challenged old Rolfie boy to a Russian face slapping contest. And anybody who felt like insulting his falsetto register either for that matter. But I don't think he was a violent man.
Had to laugh.... “ From Russia.... Ivan Rebroff” , he was a German. The story about his Russian heritage was not true ... but ... who cares ... he was one of the best singers ever!!!!!
Wow! This comment is so easy to understand compared to the Russian comment of zzz!00ist. Do you think that, if the Russian comment were transliterated into Latin letters, we would be able to detect some words cognate with the English?
Nah, sometimes he has a tendency to exaggeratedly relax his face in such a way that the delivery becomes a bit dull, but no I wouldn't say he has ever sung a whole song badly.
That is NOT as range of 4 or 5 octaves. He's simply singing in falsetto, which isn't singing. He doesn't even do it that well, like all the phony falsetto singers today, known as countertenors.
54 and grew up listening to this amazing talented man. 😍
Его вокал уникален,он играет голосом,передавая эмоции,как художник рисует картину красками!Прекрасно передает русский Дух!

До слез...такого больше не будет...БРАВИИССИИМООО!!!

Tottaly Acord, he and Pavarotti are my Favorite Male singers.
We dream our wildest dreams to
Hear a voice as mighty Ivan's.. 1969
He was on a. British
Fantastic
stunning ..wish i had 'found' him when he was still alive...

He died like 6 months after I became a big fan of his :(
@ i’ve not played any of Ivan til you just commented on my 13 year old post…i know what i’ll be doing on the weekend..thank you for the reminder.
Thanks for your comment, John. Sadly, I was unaware of Ivan Rebroff until I heard him sing on this vintage television show; his vocal versatility is amazing.
Nádherné.
Bravoooooo

He sang in Germany operas ! He was German born in Berlin. Hans-Rolf Rippert was his real name !
Thanks for your comment. I checked Wikipedia who state Ivan Rebroff's vocal range is four and a half octaves, ranging from soprano to bass.
Fantastic!
To translate this is "The Lonely Sleigh Bell"or on some recordings "The Little Bell"
Thanks for your comment. I watched the show to see Barbara Windsor in her Carry On days but was mesmorised by Ivan Rebroff!
He really was his best back then.I never heard the last one before.After all these years I can still hear something new from him.If you know the name of it,let me know.Thanks for posting.

Thanks for your comment. This must be the only television programme to feature both Ivan Rebroff and Barbara Windsor!
Ja, his brother was a fighter ace in the Luftwaffe. He apparently shot down some VIP with the French underground.
I saw Ivan Rebroff in concert at The Orpheum in Vancouver in May, 1979. A consummate performer.
The man he shot down was a very famous french writer, known for "The Little Prince"
Well, good for you, now I really enjoyed listening to these two pieces and if your dulcet tones are any way near as good as this fellas then you need to get on the TV so that we can all enjoy your singing as well,,,,
Kenne ihm Persönlich
❤
Astounding range of his voice -- he was actually German [wikipedia] Hans- Rolf Rippert

Brilliáns! Szpasźiba ruszkij cselovék!!!💯💥💯💥💯💥💯
Love his wardrobe, it's Russians how cool is that.
Oh. One more thing. You all will want to listen to Ivan sing Mit der Troika in die große Stadt.
Lively! Throw away your Prozac after you hear this!

Seine Stimme geht bis in die Zehen und wieder retour. Keiner hat das jemals wieder erreicht!
The same guy who can go low as F1(Double low F) and can high as A5(coloratura soprano A) note
Theres this clip where he does this really clean Eb6 like its nothing. Ridiculous.
Thanks for your comment. Wikipedia is an invaluable source of information!
This song is about Gary Lineker, ex professional soccer player.
A good singing German ;-)
@Medusa49 As far as I know its called Odnoswutschno gremit kolokoltschik

He is actually German born in Berlin. His real name is Hans-Rolf Rippert.
How many octaves does he cover in this song?
@Medusa49 Odnozvuchno Gremit - the Little Bell
Had to laugh.... “ From Russia.... Ivan Rebroff” , he was a German. The story about his Russian heritage was not true ... but ... who cares ... he was one of the best singers ever!!!!!
A lot of Germans, have ancient Russian heritage.
I would also rather say I'm Russian than german or Ukrainian.

Who says everything posted on UA-cam has to be in English in order to convenience people who can't speak or understand any other languages?
Ханс Рольф Рипперт -Иван Реброфф мог себя считать русским человеком.Тем более что мама у него русская эммигрантка-Наталья Нелина
Legenden!
Has Ivan ever sang anything badly?
Nah, sometimes he has a tendency to exaggeratedly relax his face in such a way that the delivery becomes a bit dull, but no I wouldn't say he has ever sung a whole song badly.
Somebody translate this Russian comment in English or German.
I love Rebroff . I hate Harris
That is NOT as range of 4 or 5 octaves. He's simply singing in falsetto, which isn't singing. He doesn't even do it that well, like all the phony falsetto singers today, known as countertenors.
organboi ...fool
Lol.
I love comments like this so much lol
