THE OSSIPOV BALALAIKA ORCHESTRA, VOL IV: RUSSIAN MUSIC BY NIKOLAI BUDASHKIN, 1910-1988
«Dazzling! Inimitable! Fantastic!» – these are typical reactions to performances by the Ossipov Balalaika Orchestra. An Australian reviewer wrote: «A kind of musical tsunami swept over the hall, everything was immersed in the Russian melodies, deep and wide like an ocean. I simply cannot find the words! I was sobbing like a baby. It was a wonderful dream...» Nikolai Kalinin leads this renowned ensemble in a breathtaking and thoroughly Russian program.
(1997) The Ossipov Balalaika Orchestra, Vol IV: Russian Music By Nikolai Budashkin, 1910-1988 - CD 9626
Nikolai Budashkin (1910–1988) was one of the most eminent composers of Russian «estrade» music, a new genre of music from the first half of the 20th century born in the former Soviet Union, a genre that united the best of classical and folk music. The young composer was awarded the Stalin Prize for his popular and accessible compositions, most clearly represented by his works for Balalaika ensembles and Balalaika orchestras (which were often inspired by folk music). The Legend of Lake Baikal is a beautiful example his work; the composer employed artful reminiscences of «Lara’s Theme» in one of the picturesque scenes from this moving piece.
