Not a great deal is known about the life and career of Gavriil Alexeivich Morskoj +••.••(...)). Born in the Chernigov province of the Ukraine, Morskoj sang in choirs as a child and enrolled in the St. Petersburg Conservatory at the age of 20. His operatic debut occurred in Odessa in 1889 and he seems to have sung leading roles there and in Kiev for the next several seasons. St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky Theater offered Morakoj a long-term contract in 1895 and he sang a variety of roles there over the next decade. The tenor made a guest appearance as Herman in Tchaikovsky’s Pique Dame at the Bolshoi in 1903. Morskoj must not have left much of an impression on Moscow audiences, for he was offered no further engagements with the company. In St. Petersburg, however, Morskoj was a well respected artist and amassed a repertoire of some 50 roles, including Radames in Aïda, Alfredo in La Traviata, the title roles in Werther and Samson et Dalila, Don José in Carmen, Raoul in Les Huguenots, Lensky in Yevgeny Onegin, Vodemon in Iolanta, The False Dmitri in Boris Godunov, Lykov in The Tsar’s Bride, Tsar Berendey in The Snow Maiden, Sobinin in A Life For the Tsar, Finn in Ruslan and Lyudmila and Trasea in the world premiere of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Servilia in October of 1902. Morskoj was also an accomplished recitalist and oratorio singer. Among the operatic works in his repertoire were Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, Saint-Saëns’ Le Déluge, the Berlioz Requiem and Rimsky- Korsakov’s cantata The Song of Oleg the Wise, in which he created the tenor part at the world premiere in 1899. Sadly, Morskoj’s health began to deteriorate as he approached his mid-forties and he was compelled to abandon his stage career in 1906. The following year, he was appointed Professor of Voice at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, where he remained until his death in 1915 at the age of 52. Morskoj made but a handful of recordings for G&T between 1901 and 1903. These discs were primarily issued in Russia and are exceedingly rare. In this recording, Morskoj sings "Sing, Little Cuckoo, in the Dark Forest" from Rimsky-Korsakov's The Maid of Pskov. This was recorded in St. Petersburg for G&T in 1901.
