Customer Reviews

cant belive i finally found this
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.

Bone-chilling, as stirring as bagpipes!
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

Outstanding!
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.
