Description
Even in the depths of the Cold War, cultural exchanges still took place between East and West. Moscow's Bolshoi Ballet was welcome everywhere, as was (and despite the name) the Red Army Ensemble.
This latter was essentially a large singing and dancing group, and whilst doubtless it contained a fair share of KGB agents, it nevertheless charmedaudiences throughout the world, the united states being no exception.
This unusual new Jasmine collection is a selection of studio recordings by both The Soviet Army Ensemble and The Moscow Song Ensemble.
It features songs from the two periods of great upheaval in Russian life, songs typically of a rousing, tuneful anduplifting nature which explains their popularity with past American and Russian Audiences.
