It is far more difficult to describe the inherent values of this national instrument, of which there is a whole family with sizes ranging from the piccolo and alto to the bass and double bass. Accordingly a wide variety of timbral colouring can be achieved, which – together with a broad repertoire – is exploited to the full by a traditional ensemble such as the Osipov Orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith their performances of arrangements of well-known, romantic Russian pieces, popular adaptations and waltzes, this professional orchestra gives us an insight into the spirited and highly entertaining world of a living musical culture. No different from a classical orchestra, the arrangements are rich in soloistic interludes. Alongside the domra, an instrument with three or four strings, we hear a xylophone, ancient wind instruments and the sonorous, rippling bajan (button accordion). This recording goes back to the roots of Russian music and rightly occupies an important position in our Russian Edition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e180 gram LP w\/ Standard Sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eRecording: June 1962 in Bolshoi Hall of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, Moscow, Russia,\u003cbr\u003e\nby C.R.
