"A fabulous, and rousing musical CD by the Stars of St. Petersburg. They use the traditional instruments to play all the songs with the histories of the instruments in the CD jacket. An excellent CD to get to know the balalika and the wonderful music that it can bring to one's ears. The songs flow into each other to further the enjoyment of this CD. Highly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys the Balalika or Russian music."
Incredible!!!!!

"There are a lot of perennial Russian folk favorites in this selection that seem to be revitalized by the "Stars of Saint Petersburg" balaika arrangements. I bought this CD a few weeks back and have not tired of listening to it. A refreshing edition to any world music collection."
Wow!!!

"This is a great CD. I was blown away by the dexterity of the playing. I am not an expert on Balalaika, but I have heard this instrument both live and on other CDs. I have never heard it so well played as on this CD. The musical selections were exciting."
