Not the best renditions of Russian folk tunes. Sounds like they were sung by locals - not necessarily singers.

This review is from: Memories From Russia (Audio CD)

This band was originally called the "Volga Balalaika Ensemble". I had their record 25 years ago. This band is the best I've ever heard for the old Cossack days Russian folk songs. Every song instantly conjures up imagines of pre revolution Russia, soldiers on the battlefield, and dancing/vodka drinking by the fire. It's a very relaxing CD, perfect for background music to your Russian dinner! You won't be dissapointed!!
