Thank you so much for pointing this out. I've listened to it twice today and I love it. I have always felt an affinity for Russian music of all kinds, despite my so-called 100% German ethnicity. Then again, my Silesian-born grandmother on my father's side always boasted that there was Polish Aristocracy in her family. ( Being married - happily - to a Polish woman I assure you every Pole is descended from Aristocracy )and there is evidence that my surname implies that the Barkhoff's - mainly from the rea around Essen, I.E. Coal mine country, originated from the East, how far east we'll never know.
