Nikolai Shishkin

Songs

• "Listen if you wish" «Слушайте, если хотите».
• "Bright is the night" «Ночь светла». In the catalog of the National Library of Russia the only edition of this song attributed to "Shishkin" actually attributes to "Mikhail Shishkin", although this could just indicate the arranger, as with the song Sharaban. The lyricist is often miscatalogued in Russian sources as "M. Yazykov" who lived half a century later. The actual author is Yakov Prigozhi, pianist at the Moscow restaurant Yar. Prigozhi made many arrangements of Gypsy melodies.
