2.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat disappointing, May 5, 1999

By	XplorDoc@aol.com (Boynton Beach, Fl) - See all my reviews

While the music content was fair, it was not as complete in depth as I would have expected. The quality of the photograpy was very poor,as the lighting was inadequate.

1.0 out of 5 stars Could have been a lot better, August 22, 2000

By A Customer

Reminiscent of a 6th grade Social Studies film, a humdrum view of village singers and a few scenes of dancing, but nothing like I was hoping for. Picture quality was not as good as on most professionally recorded video tapes.

Russian folk music and dancing can offer ten times the excitement that this tape shows. At 22 minutes long I might have said it should have been longer, but then I would have probably fallen asleep.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great intro to balalaika music!, April 25, 2002

By	Rick Heald (New York, NY New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

I really loved this short introduction to Balalaika music as it is practised in the United States. The music is great and it really made me want to join the BDAA (Balalaika and Domra Association of America) and learn to play all this wonderul music! Yes the film quality is not Hollywood special effects but hey, it's "folk" music.
