3 out of 5 stars Quirky collection.......2003-02-01

This CD contains several tracks not found anywhere else. It contains Glasnost and Perestroika, the tracks from the single released when he visited Russia for the first time.
It also contains some German language versions of some familiar songs.

Perestroika [German] [3:35] Also available on "The Very Best of Ivan Rebroff" CD.

Mýtterchen Ruýland [German] [5:03] Also available on "The Very Best of Ivan Rebroff" CD. It's available on many CDs, but is still a great track.

Gott rette dein Volk [3:34] Also available on the "Ich Bete An Die Macht Der Liebe" CD. Not my favorite.

Entlang der Wolga [Russian] [3:37] Same as "Along the Volga" on the "Folk Songs of Old Russia" LP. Glad to get this on CD.

Ach, Natascha [German] [2:22] Same as on the "Kosaken mýssen reiten" LP. Also available on "The Very Best of Ivan Rebroff" CD. Same as on the "Kalinka" CD & "Memories of Old Russia" LP but with a German lead vocal.

Grosser alter Don [4:01] Also available on "The Very Best of Ivan Rebroff" & "Russische Seele" CDs. Don't care much for it.

Glasnost [German] [4:36] Kinda grows on you after a while.

Die Zýgel ganz fest in der Hand [German] [3:33] Same as on "Mein Russland, due bist schýn" LP. "Memories of Russia" instrumental with German lead vocal.

Der Weg von Petersburg nach Nowgorod [German] [3:14] Same as on "Mein Russland, due bist schýn" LP. "Memories of Russia" instrumental with German lead vocal.

Abendglocken [3:28]

Wolga aus deinen Fluten [3:33] Doesn't do a thing for me. Does have some amazing falsetto in it.

Spiel, Zigeuner [German] [3:41] Same as on the "Kosaken mýssen reiten" LP. "Memories of Russia" instrumental with German lead vocal.

I find it hard to get excited about this one. It did provide me a way to get some of the German language tracks that aren't available anywhere else, but that's quite faint praise.

5 out of 5 stars The best you can get.......1999-06-18

This CD from 1989 contains songs that Rebroff has recorded over the past thirty years, including Perestroika and Glasnost, which he recorded after the tearing down of the Berlin wall. This CD offers some of the best songs he ever recorded such as "Der Zýgel ganz fest in der Hand" (the reins held fast in the hand) , "Von Petersburg nach Nowgorod" (From Petersburg to Nowgorod) and "Mýtterchen Russland" (Mother Russia). This CD can only receive five stars. Many of these songs are sung in German, although some are in Russian, such as the wonderful "Wolga aus deinen Fluten". To be honest, I mostly prefere the German ones, for I can understand the touching words.
