A World Famous, Yet Unknown, Countertenor: Basile Bolotine of Serge Jaroff’s Don Cossack Choir

This article concerns the artistry and career of Basile Bolotine, 1895-1981, a beloved countertenor soloist in Serge Jaroff's Don Cossack Choir. It was a world-famous a cappella Russian emigre ensemble that toured extensively all over the non-Soviet world for nearly sixty years. Bolotine had a long tenure with them, and through his recorded legacy, his music is still cherished. However, his name has remained largely unknown. This essay introduces him by name to those who have and have not yet experienced his music.
