Ensemble Pesnokhorki Vol. IV - Traditional Russian & Cossacks songs of Siberia (Face Music)

The Ensemble Pesnokhorki (formed by: pesnya - song and khorki - choir) was founded in 1979 by Olga A. Abramova. After her studies at the Conservatory of Saratov, upon the recommendation of her teacher, Prof. L.L. Christiansen, she started travelling in favour of the ethno-geographical field-research of music of the Altai. In Barnaul, in the region of Altaiski Kray, southern Siberia, she was to achieve her project, i.e. to found an ensemble, whose tour activities are based on field-research. The members of the group are ancient graduates of the Conservatory of Barnaul, as well as students of several local music schools. They teach nowadays at the Folk Center Pesnokhorki in Barnaul, directed by O.A. Abramova, where approx. 200 children and adolescents are taught in the traditional music of their ancestors; they are taught choir singing, playing the traditional instruments and folkdance and receive a basic training in music.

     Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America.

They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
