Free Music Notes for Best of Communism: Revolutionary Songs
Free Music Review: Wonderful Despite the Politics
Hit: 5 Stars
When doing reviews sometimes one gets the feeling that you don't have much new to offer about a particular item, but here I can honestly say that my perspective is invaluable because I have to be one of the least communistic, socialistic people on this earth. I despise statism in all its forms and am a diehard classical liberal. That being said, beautiful is beautiful and this music is both cheerful and inspiring. Try not playing track 8 and 14 repeatedly. I bet a multitude of listeners will agree with me that they are rare and pleasing songs.
In fact, that I cannot discern a word of this CDs' lyrics is a point in its favor because, were it otherwise and I comprehended its message, I'm sure that it would grate on me. With politics, I've argued before with plenty of people that you don't just ignore the history you don't like or what isn't warm and fuzzy. Hearing Lenin's voice makes this CD a primary source document and adds to its worth. Even if you hate Lenin the recording remains a rope to the past and it is one we should not cut. Communists do just about everything poorly but I have to say that some of their musical ventures were worthwhile--just look at Prokofiev and Shostakovich (of course I do realize that they would have created even greater works had they not been terrorized by the bureaucratic authorities). Regardless, this is an exquisite recording.
