R.I.P. Red Army Choir

This has been criminally ignored all over the world.

60 members of the Alexandrov Ensemble died yesterday on a plane crash.

The Alexandrov Ensemble also called Red Army Choir, was founded during the Soviet Union and were one of the best and most highly regarded Ensembles of the World during the XX century.

This is one of the most tragic cultural losses of the past 50 years.



I know Americans have the tendency to don't care about something that comes from Russia and especially from the Soviet Union, and there are some good reasons for that, but if you didn't know them I recommend you give it a try.

Masterful musicians.

Been to their concert about 3 years ago.

That's a huge tragedy with so many people, no matter where they come from.

RIP

Losing 60 military men is definitely far, far worse than losing 1 washed up aging queen like George Michael (no offense, George).

This many people who die at once is always a tragedy. And while sure they were founded by the Red's, but good music is still good music. And these guys were great.

RIP

That's terrible.

I'd heard about the plane crashing into the Black Sea but didn't know about the Red Army Choir being on it. What a shame. R.I.P. to all the victims.
