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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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,,,,
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.
@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 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.
"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.
@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.
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?
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!!!!!
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.

He sang in Germany operas ! He was German born in Berlin. Hans-Rolf Rippert was his real name !
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.
Bravoooooo
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!
До слез...такого больше не будет...БРАВИИССИИМООО!!!
Bravo!!!!
Thanks for your comment. This must be the only television programme to feature both Ivan Rebroff and Barbara Windsor!
❤
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!
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,,,,

Astounding range of his voice -- he was actually German [wikipedia] Hans- Rolf Rippert
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!
Kenne ihm Persönlich
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.
Seine Stimme geht bis in die Zehen und wieder retour. Keiner hat das jemals wieder erreicht!
Thanks for your comment. Wikipedia is an invaluable source of information!
A good singing German ;-)

This song is about Gary Lineker, ex professional soccer player.

How many octaves does he cover in this song?

Who says everything posted on TH-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!
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.
Somebody translate this Russian comment in English or German.
Has Ivan ever sang anything badly?
I love Rebroff . I hate Harris

organboi ...fool
Lol.
I love comments like this so much lol
