Dmitri Pokrovsky Ensemble - Nor Close To Town Nor Far
Review by Bruno Conde
Dmitri Pokrovsky Ensemble's album Nor Close To Town Nor Far is a beautiful collection of traditional Russian folk songs that showcases the group's exceptional musicianship and passion for their cultural heritage. The album features a variety of instruments, including the balalaika, the accordion, and the domra, which blend together seamlessly to create a rich, textured sound.
The songs themselves are hauntingly beautiful, with mournful melodies that evoke the vast, sweeping landscapes of Russia. The ensemble's vocal harmonies are also a standout feature, with the singers' voices weaving together in intricate patterns that add depth and complexity to the music.
