A Great Double Album From Theodore Bikel,
By jr_Tech (Portland OR. area) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Songs of Russia Old & New/Songs of a Russian Gypsy (Audio CD)
I have owned the LP of "Songs of a Russian Gypsy" since the early 60's, and it has always been a favorite. This record was a "breakthrough hit" for Elektra records in the early days (See "Follow The Music" by Jac Holzman and Gavan Daws).
"Songs of a Russian Gypsy" was re-issued as a CD by Bainbridge Records, in the 90's, but in limited numbers. When the supply dried up, only an uncertain "used" market remained, with prices quite variable. (see my review of the used CD). This re-issue also includes another Bikel favorite, "Songs of Russia Old and New". Hopefully, more early Electra Albums will surface through the efforts of Collectors Choice Music!

Introduction to Russian 101,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Songs of Russia Old & New/Songs of a Russian Gypsy (Audio CD)
Growing up post-WWII, and in college and the military during the Cold War, I wanted to understand my "enemy", a the military demands. This album was part of my learning, and is just good music. Many pop and rockers will not be interested: their loss. Bikel took folk singing a step further, and even not understanding all the words (I took Russian in college), it has a good intro to the Russian "soul", from Ivan the Terrible to Putin.

The Essential Russian Folk Songs,
By Sherry Lyn Kaplan (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Songs of Russia Old & New/Songs of a Russian Gypsy (Audio CD)
Ever since I was a little kid, I thought there was something magical in the sound of ethnic folk songs. This CD only reaffirms my idea. If you have any interest at all in ethnic folk music, these songs will really take you to another place. My imagination runs wild with this music; some songs are so joyful you can't help but to imagine dancing, and others so sorrowful you want to weep. The bottom-line is anyone with an interest in world music NEEDS this album. I don't think any CD of ethnic folk music had lived up to my expectations, until I got this one. It is a true treasure; especially if you'd like some help with your Russian!
