In memoriam Red Army Choir - 25.12.2016

"Red Army is the strongest" - "The roads"

[@MrHomerhickson]

I am an average person in America, and I am here to tell you that music does transcend borders. I have enjoyed listening to the musical talent of the Red Army Choir for years. To their families, I hope they know that they were more than a choir. They were Russian cultural ambassadors. Through their performances they showed that bridges between people and cultures can be built. Yes, they primarily sung Russian songs. But they also sung The Star Spangled Banner, America the beautiful and yes, even Jingle Bells! But it was more than those songs. They sung every song from their hearts as they loved music and it showed. People around the world got a taste of Russia through their service, and they will be missed around the world not just in Russia. I, with all lovers of music, are very sadden at the loss.

Juri - na Twoje ręce pragnę przekazać serdeczne wyrazy współczucia dla całego Narodu Rosyjskiego , z powodu tej strasznej tragedii . Nie ma takich słów , które mogłyby Was pocieszyć . Ta okrutna katastrofa zabrała wspaniałych ludzi - artystów , których kochały miliony. To ogromna strata dla kultury Rosji i nie tylko . Byłam kilka lat temu w na koncercie CHÓRU ALEXANDROWA i mój zachwyt nie znał granic . Pozostanie smutek , wspomnienia i płyty , do których już zaczęłam wracać . Niech odpoczywają w pokoju .

[@lalafa7149]

Dziękuję, kochanie. To dla nas bardzo ważne - wiedzieć że ludzie pozostają ludźmi na całym świecie. Jak bym się nie starała propaganda poszczuć nas na siebie. Z Rosji - z miłością i szacunkiem.

Drogi Juri - witam Cię serdecznie i dziękuję za ciepłe i miłe słowa .Jest również mój wpis dotyczący tej tragedii na moim profilu G+ .Ja zawsze lubiłam bogactwo rosyjskiej kultury , czyli : literaturę ,muzykę , malarstwo ....I masz rację Juri , że często ludzie "burzą" to , co mogłoby być piękne .Pozdrawiam z Polski Ciebie i całą Twoją rodzinę :))

Спасибо, Еlzbieta. I wish all the best to you and to all people in Poland in 2017.

I was so very sorry to hear about this tragedy...My prayers to all the families of this Choir who lost their loves and my prayers for the souls of those lost. I first heard the Russian Army Choir back in the 50s when then came to our city during the Cultural exchange and performed all over the US. We were lucky enough to have them come here. A Beautiful evening of Music. God Bless and keep you and comfort you all in this time.
