Ukrainian poems??? 😮😊 No word about "ukrainian" something known then. Kiev was the great Russian Orthodox Church nucleon. So those poems too... Rachmaninov also was.

Очень красивый голос, но ни черта не понятно, о чём поёт. А Рахманинов среднюю поэзию не брал для своих романсов...

Беру свои слова назад: шведская певица артикулирует, как умеет😊
