Where Are You, My Brothers?

Where are You, my Brothers? is a 2003 album of Russian-language songs from World War II recorded by baritone Dmitry Hvorostovsky and conductor Constantine Orbelian for Delos Productions. The album was released in Russia as Songs of the War Years. It was based on a concert at the Kremlin Palace in Moscow. A video of the concert and 13 of the songs was released on the American VAI label. The repertoire of the concert is the very core of the Russian war song genre and the sound and video releases were accompanied by booklet essays and sung texts and translations. A follow-up concert on Red Square followed. The next year, 2005, Hvorostovsky took the programme on an official tour through Russia at the personal invitation of President Vladimir Putin. Hvorostovsky's tour repertoire also included songs not released on the CD including by Dmitri Shostakovich. In Russia the album is known as Песни военных лет.
