Paul Winter Consort joined by the Russian traditional choir Dimitri Pokrovsky Singers - in this a glorious CD that will fill your home with exuberant sound!
This milestone collaboration, recorded in Moscow and New York in 1987, was the first album of original music created by Americans & Russians together.
