3.0 out of 5 stars Where to find the Vladimir Visotsky song...., February 4, 2005

By	Mrs. Emma Peel "gimmejewelry" (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

For those of you who have been looking for the beautiful Vladimir Visotsky song "Koni Priveredlivye" (or "Fastidious Horses") from the theater scene of White Nights that wasn't included on the soundtrack, here is a link to a website where you can download it for free....

http://go-mp3.rin.ru/eng/artist/516/32,106,1264/

You will have to register first, but this is free and once you're registered they'll allow 1 free mp3 download per day. There are 6 versions of this song sung by Visotsky to download here in addition to the version from the film.

The exact version from the film is the first song listed under composition "Koni Priveredlivye", album "U Babeka Serusha, Opaliha", year 1976. It's a nice clean copy and is a decent 128 kbps.

Click on the empty box next to the song to check it, then click on the words "(in basket)" at the bottom of the list. If you have registered, a new window will open with the song listed and a download link.

If you haven't yet registered, when you click the "(in basket)" link a window will open that will give you the opportunity to register (just name, e-mail, etc; no credit cards or anything). Once you've confirmed your registration through the e-mail they'll send to your mailbox, sign in and then reopen the link I listed above and put the song in your cart again. The window allowing you to download should open now.

AOL users will probably need to use a different browser to do this (I'm on AOL and I could only get the cart window to load properly using my Internet Explorer browser).

If for some reason this link takes you to the site but not to the page with the song, type in Visotsky's name as "Vysockij Vladimir" when searching in the English version of their mp3 section. At the moment, the pages to find all 7 versions of this song are 32-33 on their massive list of Visotsky's music (1264 songs!).

I was so thrilled to finally find this song after years of looking (and for free); I hope this helps some of you also.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Horses?, September 6, 2001

By A Customer

This is an excellent soundtrack, but as the previous poster pointed out, the song by Vladimir Vysotski is absent. This is a not to be missed example of music banned in the communist era! If anyone is looking for it...it's difficult to find, the movie credits mistranslated the title. It's actually called "Fastidious Horses."
