5.0 out of 5 stars cant belive i finally found this, April 17, 1999
By A Customer
We've had a recording of this chorus all thru the cold war years when it was almost subversive. Unfortunatley our turntable gave out and we had to enter the CD age. I had almost given up hope when i chanced on this at amazon. We are etermnally grateful. This is some of the most soulful music ever recorded , whatever your politics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bone-chilling, as stirring as bagpipes!, December 29, 2002
I was delighted to find this CD; I had the original 33 RPM record when it first came out while in college in the mid-1950's, and it is rather well worn, the old turn-table has been stored (somewhere) for years, and I'm happy to replace it with a CD. jlw

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, August 26, 2005
I first discovered this album as a LP in the late 1960s. Granted, the recording techniques then are not as sophisticated as they are now, but the quality of the voices on this CD is excellent, and the music will send chills down your spine.

There are subsequent albums of the "Red Army" (whom I've seen in person) -- while good, the original "Soviet" is still the best.

If you love great soloists, outstanding choral work, and stirring music, you will appreciate this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Classic
Rich and often powerful music. Much magnificent singing and orchestration. The effort of the chorus to sing "Tipperary" in english is, alone, well worth the price of purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars It was ok
It's an ok album. The songs are nice but I bet half of the tracks are in mono, which was disappointing. I would recommend "Best of The Red Army Choir" instead.

This is the best performance of human voice I have ever heard. I am listening uninterrupted since receiving it. It is yet the second day, but I think I will listen to it for years.
