Mark Reizen - Partizanka - Matvey Blanter 

Partizanka by Matvey Blanter, text by M. Isakovsky
Музыка: М. Блантер Слова: М. Исаковский
This is one of the few wartime songs recorded by the great Mark Reizen.
Mark Osipovich Reizen 1895-1992. The leading bass of the Bolshoi Opera was as good in song as in the big opera roles.
His beautiful bass voice was aptly compared by Conrad L. Osborne as "Blue Velvet over an Iron Core" (Russians in Amber - Opera News)
Partizanka, the Partizan Girl, composed by Matvey Blanter on a text by Mikhail Isakovsky. Matvey Blanter, of the pleiade of great Jewish Soviet composers, known among many songs, for the most famous Katyusha .
For better understanding, I have included the text with this video.
For memories of those who have inherited them, and know the history, I have also added a picture of the monument to Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, who greeted us when entering the Metro station Patizanskaya, in Moscow.
