" Steinberg's songs were performed by dozens of vocalists, among whom, first of all, are Nadezhda Plevitskaya , Anastasia Vyaltseva , Nina Dulkevich , Yuri Morfessi , Alexander Davydov , Mikhail Vavich and many others. Since the first years of the 20th century, dozens of records with Steinberg's romances have been released, primarily in the interpretation of Raisa Raisova and Natalya Tamara .
