🎻 Dear subscribers! Are you ready for today’s feature on the Best of Russian Music?

Russian classical music is celebrated worldwide, and no major music festival or competition feels complete without a piece from a Russian composer.

This Sunday evening, we invite you to listen to Tchaikovsky’s "Trepak" (Russian Dance) from The Nutcracker, performed by the Symphony Orchestra of Galicia.

🎧 Enjoy!

Can you guess the song?

👉 Here are some hints!

🎧 This classic was composed by the renowned Russian artist Ivan Larionov in 1860, in the city of Saratov. It debuted on stage with Larionov himself at the helm!

🎧 Despite numerous attempts to translate the lyrics abroad, they always fall short, losing the essence and charm of the original. The song has become synonymous with Russia, often referenced in the sale of traditional folk souvenirs.

🎧 You’ll frequently hear this lively tune at football and hockey games, especially during halftime, where it energizes fans and players alike. Chelsea FC supporters even embrace it as their unofficial anthem.

🎹 What song are we talking about?
