"Dmitri Pokrovsky and ensemble are simply marvelous. . . there is some magnificent, stirring music here." Sing Out! the Folk Music Magazine
"A magnificent celebration of the winter solstice." The Companion
Recorded live at two Houston Revels shows, one focusing on Russia and America, the other on Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. At once darkly pretty and boisterous, brimming with the energy of cold people keeping warm to hot dance, rich harmony, and the pleasure of each other's company. Featuring the Karelian Folk Music Ensemble, preeminent exponents of the haunting music of Karelia, which overlaps modern Finland and Russia; and the seminal Russian folkloric group, the Dmitri Pokrovsky Ensemble. Pokrovsky also contributes a fascinating liner-note essay on how Russian holiday traditions connect to our American Christmas.
