Les Chœurs De L'Armée Soviétique (The Red Army Choir) - Les Choeurs De L' Armée Rouge A Paris (1961)

The Alexandrov Academic Ensemble of Song and Dance of the Russian Army is Russia’s biggest military artistic team. October 12, 1928 is considered as the day of establishment of the Ensemble. On this day the team’s first performance took place within the premises of the Central House of the Red Army. At that time it included 12 persons. But by the middle of the 30-s the staff has increased up to 300 persons already and its fame has transcended the boundaries of the country.

During World War II, the ensemble gave over 1500 performances at both Soviet fronts, entertaining troops about to go into battle, at gun emplacements, airfields, and in hospitals.

The ensemble services are marked with the highest Russian awards, and the Diploma of the International exhibit in Paris “Grand-Prix” (1937), the rewards for the record edition of the gramophone recordings – “The Golden Discs” of the French company “Chan du Monde” (1964), the Dutch “N.O.S.” (1974) and the “Grand Prix de Disque” (1961) for the best disc of the year according to the French Academy of the gramophone recordings.
