1.0 out of 5 stars So bad, I can't help but laugh!!, January 9, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Best of Russian Folk Songs (Audio CD)
Yearning to hear the songs I learned while on a Study Abroad trip in 1995, I purchased this CD. This is the most horrid version I have ever heard! First year language students could do a better job at pronunciation. Every song has a garish, obvious mispronunciation. The most annoying one is their version of "Kalinka". They do not pronounce it "Kaleenka" (long e) they pronounce it "Kaleeneeka". My advice to anyone who has taken more than a semester of Russian is to keep searching for a better CD. I know I will!

1.0 out of 5 stars The singers are not russian, October 30, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Best of Russian Folk Songs (Audio CD)
If you don't mind that these guys have a heavy non-russian accent, then by all means, buy this CD.

2.0 out of 5 stars Gustavo Ferreira Russian Music, January 18, 2006
This review is from: Best of Russian Folk Songs (Audio CD)
I found this CD not very good. The arragments developed by the ensemble wolga are commercial and not very good. I think are not close from the real spirit of these Folk music.

I also had bought at the some time "Balalaika Favorites" that is an excelent compilation and excelent played. I realy recommend this one, not the first one.
