Christmas Concert 2008

Director/Cameraman Anton Goutev has been discreetly following us around for a while - he says he's making a documentary, but we think he just loves the music. For our Christmas Concert in 2008, he set up with three huge cameras and made a broadcast-quality film of our concert. We've always wanted to make a live album; we're fortunate to be able to offer this one in colour!

You'll recognise some of the songs from Alyana Galyana, but there are plenty of new ones and, of course, you get to see the choir in all its wonky glory. Our guests at the concert were Dessi's sublime trio The Dessibelles, who star on four tracks.

The DVD is only available from us, either at concerts, or through this website. Every penny spent on the DVD supports the choir, the film-makers, and the composers.

This medley of sock-knitting songs is kicked off by the men with Ei, Muri Ruzhke, swiftly followed by Sednalo E Jore Dos. The songs are a bit flirty, because these are special socks knitted for your lover...

Pilentce Pée is a freedom-fighting song - we sang it for 6500 people at the Doves concert in Manchester Central (the old GMEX) in December last year. This is how it works full force and unamplified.
