5.0 out of 5 stars Spellbinding Sounds of the Steppes, April 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Russian Twilight (Audio CD)

The rhythms and instrumentation on this album are by themselves marvelous...add to this the plaintive voice of Madame Irina and the listener is transported to the hearth of a home in a strange land, serenaded with the dolor and mysticism of a strange and beautiful woman...beautiful, complex, mysterious...impossible to grow tired of!

4.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting, July 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Russian Twilight (Audio CD)

Very enchanting music, in light of the crisis in Kosova, this music is enlightening and inspiring, as much to the balkans as Ry Cooders tribute to Cuban music in his soundtrack "Buena Vista Social Club". I definitely recommend this soundtrack to those who like to listen to incidental/sitar music, or slavic sounds. Irina's voice is as delicate as listening to pepples pluck in a pond.

At first I thought I had purchased a cd of Modern Popular Rock music, boy was I surprised! In a good way. I listened to the cd all the way through and it left me feeling all goose-bumpy! What turned out to be a mistake turned into being one of my best liked cd's! A mixture of new age/country Russian folk songs by a lovely Irina Mikhailova whose voice reminded me of a cross between Judy Collins and Joan Baez mezmerizes! Bravo and excellant listening.
