THE NEKRASOV COSSACKS
IN CONCERT AT THE MOSCOW CONSERVATOIRE
Melodiya, 1984, S20 20435 009
''Real'' Cossack music and singing is rare enough; although this is a ensemble called the Folklore Ensemble of the Stavropol Territory it sounds like authentic tradtional singing. No arrangements or fiddling only straight and lively way of delivering the songs. This ensemble is mainly a choir of women singing in Russian with one solo song (here in Turkish) and some instrumental on harmonica and ''concertina'' (in fact an accordion).
Stavropol is a city north of Caucasus founded as a fortress first by Potemkin to stabilize the conquest of the area over the Ottoman empire in 1774. Don Cossacks were settled there in order to defend the new borders. But that group Nekrasov had been in the region already since 1708 after their rebellion was defeated; they decided to flee toward Kuban under the lead of Ignat Nekrasov hence their name. They were Old Believers and persecuted by the Orthodox Russian Church. In 1737, probably when Nekrasov died, they settled in the Ottoman empire. A number of them choose to fight with the Germans during the Second World War. Then some prefered to go to Turkey, others emigrated to the USA and the rest stayed in the region.
This is a copy I made during the eighties and the cover I have is different from the one we can find on line now.
