So bad, I can't help but laugh!!,
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!

If you don't mind that these guys have a heavy non-russian accent, then by all means, buy this CD.

Gustavo Ferreira Russian Music,
By Gustavo Ferreira "Gustavo Ferreira Russian Music" (Tacuarembó, Uruguay South America) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
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.

A parody?,
This review is from: Best of Russian Folk Songs (Audio CD)
I - a Russian! - could do a better job impersonating Bob Dylan than this fellows - pretending they are Russians... And no, it's not only "singing" part: instruments, sound, arrangements are truly aufull! Do yourself a favor - buy "Stars of St.Petersburg" CD, it's the real deal, don't waste no money on this parody...

I am sorry that I cannot give a review. I ordered this CD for my little grandson's birthday as his mother is Russian but, when it arrived at their home the case was empty...no CD. I hope my family in St.Brelade, Jersey, were able to contact you and sort this out.Anna.
