Seasonal fare offered up by the strong combination of bright 'n' breezy Balalaika, alongside a Russian vocal ensemble. Certainly conjures up the Christmas atmosphere with cheery renditions of evergreens "Silent Night, Holy Night", "O Tannenbaum", "Still, Still, Still" and some less familiar but highly compatible material. Enjoyable product, but to my ear the sound, particularly of the choir here and there, lacks crispness and occasionally borders on messy. Still, there's plenty to enjoy and the authenticity of the music communicates the Christmas spirit to good effect.
