Thanks for all the leads on this one. Of course, it's a Stalinist cliche, but it has some interesting moments. A friend of mine wants to replace her LP of it. I bought her the version on Cappricio (sp?) with a German choir, I think. I listened to a bit of it. Not at all like a Russian choir-- to "civilized," for want of a better term. So I will check out some of the alternatives suggested here. "John Grant" <[log in to unmask]>
