Red Army Choir now known as 'Alexandrov Choir' What a sad and tragic loss for this magnificent choir.

Here is the Red Army choir singing a long time favourite of mine "Kalinka" - Russian folk song
Soloist - Yevgeny Belyaev

Yes, very sad news.

Oh, this thread wasn't about George Michael...  ;D
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

Who the hell is George Michael and when did they run out of surnames?

George Michael is one of the main reasons I discovered the joy of music

Absolutely unbelievable, a thread about the losses of a first class choir should degenerate into 'I like pop' Andante goes away shaking his poor old head.      :'( :'( :'(

Ok without my discovery of music and especially singing songs by George Michael i never would have decided i wanted to be in a choir. The Red Army/Alexandrov Choir is one choir I discovered a few years ago and I have enjoyed listening to them quite a bit when I discovered them. Choral music has always been a joy and it is tragic that the crash happened.

In the American pop music and film acting community, it seems they 'ran out' quite some time ago, lol.

The first I saw of this was a thread on facebook, an article confirming that all passengers (92, I believe) had perished on the flight that crashed into the Black Sea;  it also confirmed that 62 of those souls were the singers, dancers and musicians from this troupe.

One of the thread comments, from Hans Zimmer, said quite rightly that the loss was both a human and cultural tragedy.

Well put, Mr. Zimmer....
