Notes and Editorial Reviews
Today Russian folklore is called a “treasury of song art,” “the people’s soul” and “examples of truth and beauty.” Neither art nor daily life in Russia across the ages would be imaginable without folk song. Bylinas, drawling and dance songs, chastushkas, gypsy and Russian romances – all of its numerous offspring are still as popular as ever, and the best performers make them a part of their repertoire. This LP features traditional songs recorded in the 1960s-80s by the best Russian instrumental and choral collectives of the time.
