“Kalinka“ - Yevgeny Belyaev and The Alexandrov Red Army Choir (1975)

The Russian folk song “Kalinka“ (or “Kalinka-malinka“) performed by Yevgeny Belyaev (tenor) and the Alexandrov Red Army Choir. This song was considered to be a Russian folk song for quite a long time. In fact, the song lyrics and music were written in 1860 by the composer, writer and folklorist Ivan Petrovich Larionov and the song was first performed on an amateur stage in Saratov in a play for which he wrote the music. And soon at the request of the famous singer and creator of the folk song choir Agrenev-Slavyansky, Larionov put this song into the choir’s repertoire. So the popularity of the “Kalinka“ song began with the Slavyansky Choir. The song gained world fame in the arrangement of the composer and conductor, the People’s Artist of the USSR, Professor Alexander Vasilyevich Aleksandrov (1883-1946). And since that time and up till now the song was widely performed abroad by the Alexandrov Red Army Ensemble. This is a clip from the musical movie “When soldiers sing“ about Boris Alexandrov and the Alexandrov Red Army Choir, 1975.
