Песня Баяна "Есть пустынный край..."
Во время свадебного пира киевской княжны Людмилы и витязя Руслана все внимают певцу-гусляру Баяну. В своей песне Баян обращается к далекому будущему. Сквозь мглу веков он видит певца, который воспоет Руслана и Людмилу и своими песнями прославит Родину.
The gifted Ukrainian tenor Vladimir Grishko has received critical acclaim for his brilliant performances around the globe, with a notable début at the New York Metropolitan Opera as Rodolfo in La Bohème and powerful performances in Borodin’s Prince Igor.

"Grishko has consistently beautiful tone, with an Italianate approach that is not out of place...[he] pays careful attention to the texts and such musical niceties as phrasing and dynamics...This is a Naxos release, and of course that means the disc's price is almost a give-away. Informative notes plus texts and translations are supplied !V this is almost too good to be true!"
