A hymn to Russian music depicted with magnificent orchestration.
A collection of Russian music by the Paul Mauriat Grand Orchestra. This album is full of exotic atmosphere, featuring folk songs such as "Kalinka" and "Black Eyes" arranged with heavy strings and brass.
Classical orchestration is fused with a light, pop feel. Pieces like "Kuroi Hitomi" (Black Eyes) and "Katyusha" (Kachusha) maintain the melodic beauty of the originals while developing a gorgeous soundscape. The legato strings and layering of the horns are exquisite, resulting in a highly transparent sound. Experience Mauriat's unique, flowing string arrangements to the fullest, making this a highly polished album in the World Music series.
