[NOTE]
A note from Matanya Ophee (1932 - 2017) on the work:
"The question arose on several occasions on how one should approach the performance of music based on Russian folklore. As we know, Russian folk songs have been used by Russian composers since the late 18th century. Surely, if one wants to get an idea on how to perform a guitar transcription of, for example, the Russian folk song U Vorot, Vorot (At the Gate, Russian Collection Vol. I) one could do no worse than listening to a good performance of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture where the song is featured as one of the main themes.
In our case, Sergei Rudnev’s arrangement of The Old Lime Tree, it is difficult to find instrumental works where the song has been used. This particular arrangement, for it is an arrangement and not a literal transcription, was first recorded by Vladimir Mikulka, even before we published the music. Since then, it has been recorded and performed numerous times by several guitarists. Unfortunately, few performers, even some Russian guitarists, seem to understand the cultural background of this music.
So what I am going to propose here is a listening to a vocal rendition of this song, as sung by one of the most important singers in Russian history, Ivan Kozlovsky, here accompanied by the equally well-known guitarist Alexander Ivanov-Kramskoi."
