Agua Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Here is another one performed by the Bolshoi Theatre Chorus. Though the sound quality is not as good, the higher ranges, as sung by the women, provide a more lifting feel than the version performed by the Red Army Chorus (link in immeidatley preceding post), and due to the inclusion of the female voices, convey the impression of a nation joined: Bolshoi Theatre Chorus (RealPlayer) And in downloadable .wav format [edited to include .wav link] [ April 28, 2002, 01:00 PM: Message edited by: Agua ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom TCMHQ Posted April 28, 2002 Author Share Posted April 28, 2002 Thanks for the links ( I really like the russian anthem ) , but that was definitly NOT the song I was looking for. IIRC it was more a kind of of melodramatic classic chorus type tune. Cheers Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grisha Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Well, the two I consider the most powerful Soviet songs are, Internationale(also, the current anthem of Russia), and Sacred War. I have both I believe - with and without the chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipper Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Grisha: "Internacionale" is not russian anthem Nor is the above link, of course. Tom: Try this http://sovmusic.narod.ru/mp3/nesokr.mp3 and this http://sovmusic.narod.ru/mp3/tnoch.mp3 and this http://www.russaudit.ru/_MP3/den_pobedy.mp3 If it's neither of the three, then you have to give some more meaningful clues.

Panzer_Meyer Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Wow, good songs, I also like the Russian anthem and their other chorus type music, I really like listening to them. How weird, I listen to hard rock (system of a down, drowning pool, etc) and here i listen to chorus type muscis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patgod Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 *shrugs* most of the "hard" music listeners i know(myself included) like classical stuff if you present it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grisha Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Thanks for correcting me, Skipper! I just checked on this and found out that the song I associate as the national anthem of the Soviet Union(and now Russia this year) is known as the 'Song of Stalin'. It became the national anthem on March 15, 1944, and 'Internationale' was dissolved. So, my two favorites are "Song of Stalin" and "Sacred War". Frankly, I find 'Victory Day' a little too light-hearted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gredeker Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 My two favorite tracks off my CD of the Red Army Band and Chorus are "Meadowlands" and "Volga Boat Song". Once, when playing a Red Barricades campaign game with a friend (I was the Russians), I put the Volga Boat Song on at high volume while he was setting up his German forces. I considered it my first foray into psy-ops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
