Some of Visotsky's Best Work

"Although aparently compiled in Germany, this CD is in Russian and contains some of Visotsky's most popular work. Although Visotsky composed more than a 1,000 songs, only a few of them were sanctioned by the Soviet government. This CD contains many of the songs that were "officially" released to the public and were a staple on Russian radio in the 70's. A unique feature of this CD is that it contains many songs with orchestral background in contrast to the griddy guitar solos that Visotsky usually performed in underground clubs. This is a must have for any Vistosky enthusiast."
Songs are in Russian, texts are only in German, good luck!

"This is an excellent CD. I just wanted to warn purchasers that although the songs are in Russian, the included booklet with the song lyrics has only a German translation. The original Russian texts are not provided, and there aren't any English translations either."
A must
