Those times of class lasted until mid1960s and after that they were gone and gone forever.

Very beautiful this version. The music became very known because of the movie Balalaika staring Nelson Eddy and Ilona Massey

[@KurtzVintageVibes]

Thank you! 🌟 I'm glad you enjoyed this version. At the Balalaika is such a beautiful piece, and you're absolutely right-the movie with Nelson Eddy and Ilona Massey helped make it iconic. I must confess that I have yet to see the movie and I look forward hearing the song on the silver screen.

Yes, and it comes from a successful London stage show and also a movie from the 1930s. I love listening to this song.
