10 RUSSIAN songs you've heard but don't know the name 

Korobeiniki, Waltz no.2 & Swan Lake TAB: www.patreon.com/posts/44147357 Katyusha tab: www.patreon.com/posts/44379604

When I was a kid, we called the Soviet national anthem the ”hockey song”. They always played that at the end of the hockey games between USSR and Sweden because USSR always won... :-)

I'm from Russia and every comment about my motherlands culture (how interesting it is to others) really makes me smile after many occasions, where I was harassed on the internet because I am Russian. You guys are so cool.

Mi u Srbiji ustvari znamo skoro sve ove pesme, čak i na ruskom.. Ruski se uči i u osnovnim i srednjim školama, na fakultetima.. Podjednako kao engleski. Podmoskovske večeri i Katjuša su moje omiljene, često sam ćerku uspavljivala uz njih. Pozdrav iz Srbije za baćuške!

Сыграть на гитаре величайшие оркестровые произведения русских классиков (Чайковский, Рахманинов, и т.д.) - чтобы просто показать Русскую музыку - это великое дело! Этот парень настоящий профессионал гитары!

Russian music has always had a special place in my heart. (I'm Dutch) If everybody would fill their hearts with music, instead of fear and hate, this world would be a so much better place to live in...😢

WOW, your singing in Russian was awesome! I'm Russian, and I really loved that! Thanks!

Никогда не слышал лебединое озеро на гитаре. I'v never heard swan lake in guitar. Very nice. Song 10 is the best. Keep going. ❤

Говорят каждый, кто сможет сыграть эти 10 песен, может рассчитывать на своего личного медведя

Чайковского и Шостаковича на гитаре я ещё не слышал, но это звучит просто прекрасно

Živela Rusija! Pozdrav iz bratske Srbije! ❤❤❤❤❤

Splendid! Я русская и поражаюсь, как глубоко Вы проникли в дух русской музыки!

Nostalgic. Here in Vietnam, i remember when i was a child, i always found the tv broadcasting Russian songs and i love those. Even in elementary school, we learnt how to sing Katyutsha (in Vietnamese) and were taught of the story of it. Just makes me growing more love to Russian ❤

Damn, Russian music is great. It always has this special vibe about it, I can't even explain it. This weird mix of melancholy and happiness?

Brother, until you started singing, I was sure that you were Russian! (the accent gave out, but I swear it only added respect) ! I bow before your art! When you played "Katyusha", the tears themselves gushed from my eyes - this is a holy song, this is our heart. Thank you, friend!❤ Привет из Москвы!

Katyusha has a Vietnamese version, it is teached in Vietnam's primary school curriculum, all Vietnamese people love this song.

I grew up in Cuba watching Russian cartoons and they always had such amazing music ❤️

Russian Songs are so full of emotions - I grew up with them here in Germany .

Tchaikovsky was always a favorite of mine, I love all of his compositions

I got 10/10 😊 Amazing songs. Greetings from your orthodox brothers 🇬🇷

As an Indian, I love the 5th song this has a special Bollywood adaptation called "Darling". It really is one celebrated song here in India.

0:16 Korobeiniki (Tetris Theme) 0:37 Walts No. 2 - Shostakovich 1:11 Swan Lake - Tchaikovski 1:45 I'm glad, cause I'm finally returning back home (trololo) 2:21 Kalinka - Ivan Larinov 2:41Katyusha - Malvey Blanter 3:18 Dance of the knights - Prokofeiv 3:56 Adagio Sostenuto - Rachmaninov (All by myself) 4:19 National anthem Of Russian Federation - Alexander Alexandrov 5:16 Dorogoi Dlinnuyu - Boris Fomin (those were the days)

Это конечно песни которые все знают.всего доброго из полшы 🇵🇱🤝🇷🇺🎸

Большое уважение вашему таланту! Пусть же музыка объединяет все народы мира❤

Чайковского с Шостаковичем на гитаре это мощно конечно

A Russian folk music group came today to perform in a cultural program at my hometown in Kolkata (West Bengal, India). It was the first time I heard Russian music and its so beautiful and soothing and fun and they fusioned with Bengali folk music which was amazing. Trying to find the songs that they played and recognized two of the songs that they played Korobeiniki and Katyusha. I am in love with these songs. Love from India ❤️

Вы изумительно исполняете произведения русской классики, я в восторге!!!👏👏👏👍👍👍👍Благодарю, от души!💖Успехов вам, всего самого хорошего!🍀

Strong love to Russian culture from Germany in these complicated times. You Russians are proud people. But you earn the pride.

Russian musicians are SO amazing (e.g Rimsky-Korsakov, Schostakovich, Tchaikovsky...) and the Russian anthem is for me one of the most beautiful songs ever. Thanks a lot for this video!

Дорогой длинною прям аж зацепила. Давно её не слышал. А тут иностранец и спел и сыграл красиво. Спасибо

You’re a genius! I’ve never heard anyone playing classical music of high complexity on a guitar… Bravo!

потрясающее видео!!! последняя "Дорогой длинною" - вообще огонь! спел очень круто, по звучанию все четко, слегка акцент слышно, но в целом, очень хорошо))

"Russia, would you like a major scale?" "nah, I'm fine"

In my opinion the Russian/Soviet National Anthem is the most beautiful among all other anthems. It uplifts and brings melancholy in that haunting minor fall. It borders on perfection as a song. Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷

So much beautiful art is coming from Russia! Art, music, poetry. Can't wait for things to calm down and I'm able to visit 🙏🏼

thank you bro, from Russia with love

Russian music for whatever reason to me, really encapsulates the snowy winter wonderland feel. Dance of the Sugarplum, Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Dance of the Knights make me feel like I'm in the Siberian wilderness just awestruck at the whiteness around me like the little girl in Narnia. In the middle of the night as a medieval knight or sitting at home in a dacha with the fireplace going as the snow falls ever so gently. And then the Russian folk music like Korobeiniki and Kalinka makes you feel like a carefree villager living in a rural part of the country singing along and dancing with other villagers who just got done with a days worth of hard work and just want to relief some tension. And then the patriotic music, does what it does best, makes me feel like I'm part of something bigger for my country the blood I'll have to shed for generations before me to live comfortably. There's just something about Russian music that really helps me envision a fantasy, or peaceful or patriotic feeling in a way that not even classical German music like Beethoven or Mozart can make me feel.

..да с песней той, что вдаль летит свинья (слышится мне)) Класс, Лукас, красавчик! 😃

So good Russian pronounciation!! And of course, extremely talanted guitar playing, thanks for this time together! Ребята, я в шоке, что такие произведения так круто звучат на гитаре, ведь они все-таки для оркестра, парень - гений!

In Italy we have a partisan version of Katyusha called "Fischia il vento"

Как русский подтверждаю - слушаем всей страной каждый день!

These pieces of music are what inspired me to learn Russian. Any people that can inspire such emotion with their music surely have interesting stories and culture, and I want to experience that for myself. So Спасибо.

Вы играете просто офигенно, браво! На гитаре... за целый оркестр! А еще я раньше и не задумывалась, какой на самом деле у нас гимн красивый)

Спасибо большое уважаемый Lucas Brar, что показали на реальных примерах для англоязычной аудитории одни из самых лучших произведений Российских авторов! Отдельное спасибо за гимн России (кстати музыка осталась от гимна СССР, поменялись только слова)!

Здравствуйте из Мексики! Я люблю Россию и всегда буду!

The russian anthem never fails to give me goosebumps. What a beautiful and very typical russian composition.

Your performance of Dorogoy Dlinnoyu is the by far the best version I can find on YotuTube.

Очень здорово играете и поёте, эти песни зазвучали ещё лучше в вашем исполнении 👏👏👏

Я из России. Это было восхитительно! Потрясающе! Особенно исполнение песни порадовало! С иностранным акцентом, но очень мило!

Никак не ожидал услышать гимн моей Родины, а особенно то что вы будете петь на Русском. Уважения вам и привет из России!

Sólo no reconocí tres canciones de las 10, pero la música rusa es alegre y nostálgica a la vez.

Гимн как-то даже тепло получился чтоли.. отличная игра, замечательно спел, спасибо, было приятно посмотреть. Желаю вам успеха!

Спасибо за популяризацию русской музыки! а за исполнение на русском языке вообще - респект и уважуха!

I'm Indonesian, but was living in Russia for 3-4 years a while ago. Everytime I heard one of Russian classics at streets and cafes it really gave me special feelings, there was always something warm in it and I ended up listening it before bed to have nice dreams. Can't say all of them had it, but in songs like Kalinka you can hear how much feeling Russian people putted in it. It's a shame that nowadays people straight up scared to talked everything related to Russia, this "new" conflict is surely awful, but people forgot how awesome Russian culture is. I'm gonna say this for all actually good people in Russia that didn't turned into aggressive "patriots" when war started - Indonesia loves you!

Вы прекрасно сыграли. И очень душевно:) Спасибо!

Great, very well done, i only recognized three songs but by their english titles, russia makes beautiful music

Ave Maria Caccini was actually written by the Russian lutenist Vladimir Vavilov. The recording of this work was released in the USSR in 1970 on a vinyl disc. Vavilov passed off his works as the works of great composers because there was a strict selection in the USSR and he was afraid that the public would not hear his compositions for a long time.

Love Russia & Russian songs ♥️🌍🕊 from Jersey 🇯🇪

Спасибо большое! Как русская - официально заявляю, Вы полностью передали атмосферу)…

They are great at your performance! Many thanks - carried to tears!

Man, I really like Katyusha, but the Russian National Anthem always makes me try to sing it even though I don't speak a word of russian. 😂

Russia's culture is one of the richest if not the richest when it comes to music, novels, opera's, ballet's and every piece of literature, it is saddening to see that russian youth have no idea about all this and trying so hard to clone westerns... This heritage will vanish unless the youth wake up

Thank you very much.I am from Russia and enjoyed your performance.Have a success!

Гимн на гитаре это 💣 ❤

Танец рыцарей на гитаре сыграть - это мощно))))) Молодца!!!

One thing our Russian brothers and sisters have in abundance is soul. And as a low bass singer myself I appreciate their Basso Profundi.

Такого красивого исполнения я ещё не слышала 😳 I have never heard such a beautiful performance

Mesmo morando a milhares de km ( 🇧🇷 ) e pertencendo a uma cultura bem diferente da russa, praticamente reconheci todas. exceto 4 e 8.

Russian music is so beautiful, my favourite are Waltz No. 2 from Shostakovich and of course, Kalinka and Katyusha

Fun fact: After playing the 9th song, his fingers became comrades.

Ow. In 10 your voice and type of play is great! Perfect! Thank you from Russia.

Спасибо за творчество и отличную музыку, друг! 👏🤝❤Музыка из самого сердца!

I've been learning Russian, I'm American. To sing by far my favorite song, that being Katyusha. I sing it everyday, at work, at home, cuddling with my boyfriend. I love it so much, I wish we could all remember we were all allies once.

Очень неожиданно, что последняя песня исполнена на таком хорошем русском языке, звучит великолепно. С любовью из России, мой друг❤

Very nice play and singing! Thank you for the show! Although I did know the ones here and I looked into this video searching for the name for a particular tune I did know was Russian but didn't know the name of in order to learn to sing the lyrics and alas, it was not included, later I did find it however. Strangely enough the one I didn't know was the "Smuglianka."

Hello I recognized 6 of the songs, but indeed did not know the names of the performers of the music. Well played Sir.👍🎉👋🍀✌️🎉🙏 Spasiba from Belgium.🇧🇪

Ах, Лука, красавец, слезу выбил. Живи сто лет, дорогой!

Танец рыцарей на гитаре звучит неожиданно прекрасно

I love Russian culture. Greetings from Bulgaria 🇧🇬❤️🇷🇺

Absolutely beautiful playing style. It’s been so long since I saw someone who was a classically trained guitarist playing. We learnt ‘Kalinka’ in junior school (Midlands of the UK in the 70s), always loved that song.

i was born in scotland in 1965 i have a memory of turning on the radio on and this woman started singing a song and my first thought was oh they are playing my fav song i dont remember hearing it before and i never knew the name of it until recently but the girl who sang it did the english version and when you started playing I knew what it was and i cried thank you it is still my fav song *no 10

Как носитель языка, могу сказать, что вы поёте довольно таки не плохо, спасибо за видео.

I've heard 7 out of these 10 songs and feels like i forever knew these tones... and I'm from freaking Bangladesh... imagine how popular these melodies are...

I've always said this, even if it gets me cancelled every time. Russian culture is extremely underrated, and the politicians ruin it, the Russian people have always been the sweetest with me, and I do not regret a single one of my cultural trips there.

Russians truly have taste in music

Oh damn, I really thought the man is russian before hearing his accent. Listening to someone knowing so many russian songs and reading comments filled with wormth towards russian music and Russia itself makes me so proud! Thank you, I didn't expect it but that's what makes this feeling amazing 💔

Wow, awesome stuff! Excellent playing!

Рахмет, дружище - слов нет, великолепное исполнение

Как русский, я не знал названий половины из этих песен. То, что вы делаете, как играете, это прекрасно. Спасибо за ваше видео

Мне очень понравилось исполнение песен и фрагментов симфонических произведений русских авторов. Вы очень хорошо играете на гитаре. Спасибо.

As a huge music enthusiast I was so happy recognizing some of my favorite artists were included like Prokofiev and rach

The Russian songs on the guitar it's something really satisfying to hear ty❤❤❤

Я бразилец и люблю русские песни 🇷🇺🇧🇷🥰🥰🥰

На моменте где "вдаль летит свинья" слезу пустила. Чел, ты гений!

В начале 10 песни показалось, что у тебя чистый русский, без акцента. Здорово. Спасибо! Thank you! ❤

It's interesting how often I come back to watch this all over again!! you did a very very good job, thank you so much , I love all of these songs!! Спасибо!

Как приятно слышать родные мелодии..❤

When you're Russian and you've heard these songs but don't know the name)

Love these videos. They're a chance to explore beautiful pieces.
