it was the best mens chorus ever in my opinion.I heard them singing when i was a kid.My father played records of them and since then i love this choir.Magnificant and powerfull voices.And all those voices together making an orchestra.This chorus was the best.Great voices,great and perfect harmonys and a great conductor.This choir is famous and legendary.Thanks for the great music you bring to us.🙂🙂👌👌👌

I am born 1959 and i love them all special with Serge Jaroff !!

Wonderful melodies, wonderful voices!

If there are twenty one here, certainly there are many more. Thank you all for lifting my spirit Considering what we have all endured , in particular, over the last century, it is something of a miracle that not all have forgotten what it means to be an Orthodox Christian. :)

Interesting! Jaroff uses little movement. He does not direct the meter. He shapes the sound with hand gestures and head nods. The effect creates attention from the chorus. The chorus must know the music by heart and then they are free to watch the conductor.

Спасибо!

Это лучший непревзойденный хор спасибо

Das ist fantastisch!80Jahre und diese Tonqualität.

I met Serge Jaroff in N.Y.C. when I was a child. My father was a Don Kazak and at that time they where the best horsemen in the world. The story of these that sang with Serge is heart warming. Most of them escaped getting killed when the revolution started in Russia.Leaving there homeland with only the clothes on there backs. When they performed Serge made sure only the one's that had a good uniform would be in the front line singing. Those who's uniform was tattered had to sing in the back row.

I've heard them live a few times in Germany and in France. They are fantastic. Thank you for this documentary video.

A jewel, thanks so much for Posting!

Wunderschön

Fantastisch!

Amazing bass voices.

Ichbete andie Macht der Liebe. Weltweit ist das der grosse Wunsch. Ob deutsch, russisch, spanisch, französisch........ Das wollen wir doch alle. Und keinen Krieg und Ruhe und Frieden. Shame you big money !

CarpatoRus Yes, I agree,Cossacks and Khazars are distantly related! But the name cossack came from khazar (kosar). Also some people survived even the Mongol invasion and continued to live in the Don area.

wow awesome piece of music

I love it sooooooooooo much

Ich konnte sie schon 2 mal orgienal erleben. Es war immer wieder schön. 👍

I enjoyed this video-- My father was also a member--his name is Donald Ferensick.

Splendid!!!!

You're family is very right! My uncle, an Orthodox Priest and a Cossack who occasionally used un-pc language, hid a family of Jews in his basement throughout WWII full well knowing the price of discovery!

danke,ich werde es mal versuchen

"Коль славен наш Господь в Сионе, Не может изъяснить язык. Велик он в небесах на троне, В былинках на земли велик. Везде, Господь, везде Ты славен, В нощи, во дни сияньем равен. Тебя Твой агнец златорунный В себе изображает нам: Псалтырью мы десятиструнной Тебе приносим фимиам. Прими от нас благодаренье, Как благовонное куренье. Ты солнцем смертных освещаешь, Ты любишь, Боже, нас как чад, Ты нас трапезой насыщаешь И зиждешь нам в Сионе град. Ты грешных, Боже, посещаешь И плотию Твоей питаешь. О Боже, во твое селенье Да внидут наши голоса, И взыщет наше умиленье, К Тебе, как утрення роса! Тебе в сердцах алтарь поставим, Тебе, Господь, поем и славим!"

I did not have any room left on my first post. This film was made in Germany in the year of 1930. I was born in New York City Dec. 15, 1930. Long live the Kazaks of today and tomorrow.....................

Thank you very much nevertheless all the best Sir

@anneebell1 Gratuliere!!! Die Don Kosaken waren fantastisch!!

Nice song

Spasibo, I sBogom!

Фантастическая басовая группа! Жаров - гений！ Звучание - абсолютно русское, слышны одновременно все и каждый в отдельности,сливаясь в единую прекрасную гармонию, а не как сейчас - когда партия голосов звучит как один голос, когда и лучшие, и худшие нивелируются в нечто среднее. И в общем результате тоже получается нечто среднее...

голос, умеющий одновременно оказаться и в раю, и в аду

честь Дона и России ген.м. Греков В.Н.

danke.Mal sehen wo ich die alte aufnahme finde,war ja auch von 1930.

stuartsob Not only Khazar Kagan(King) was converted to Judaism but most of the khazars and also many East slavs who were tributary nations of Khazars! The Don cossacks are the prime descendants of khazars(kosars), Russia has established her control over the cossack area only in 18 century! The cossacks even today categorically deny the opinion that they are related to Russians!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@BaronVonGalatz very true

Poverty, corruption and misery are common realities in most of the countries of the world. There have been large public demonstrations against most countries governments. Some have it that fifty percent of Americans live below the "poverty line". Its complicated but "corruption" interferes with numerous forms of "innovation" from technological to political. "Wealth" and "power" depend on keeping "friends" in place, including the "systems" they make money from. "Poverty" is a tech problem.

You're grandmother was very pretty (so was her friend next to her). And good taste too. They don't make them like that anymore. Today you find them with tattoos, lip piercings, and listening to (c)rap.

@vladdrac88 This US & English diplomacy is in control of how many thumbs up is shown for each comment. I am trying to add a thumb up, but it does not work. Well, what they do not control is a thumb up in my heart.

@movitmovit Many nations have suffered this form of mass insanity. China, Russia, Germany, France, England and many others down through history have suffered such episodes. As long as there are 'have not nations' there will be such episodes.

@stuartsob really!

dear Denny perhaps you could help there is a song which ends in the vers Mnja v zemlju Zarujut i v njebo poidu (I am not sure of it) but they sing this WOuld you happen to know what I am talking about>? thanks regards from Israel

Most important : My remarks have nothing to do with favoring Russia, but rather maintaining balances of political and economic power which the greed of some would unbalance, with catastrophic results.

What exactly do you mean by "Englsh Diplomacy" ? Whatr possible infulence has the United Kingdom got amongst the Slavs? England hasn't been an independent sovereign state since 1707.

What was The Cossacks political structure?

It is an ancient maxim. Julius Caesar "Divide and conquer". The first love of my life was an English girl in Canada. I wish to see a unified world, prosperous and at peace. Call me a 'technoChristian'. I believe God made man and technology ; to make of man, the shepherd of this world, earth. While we war and disrespect each other, there is no chance of fulfilling such a purpose. :) "Beating swords into plowshares" is not a request, it is a command that will be enforced.

@denny3243 Is he in this film, if so which one is he?

Divide and Rule was a maxim also used in the Ukraine by the Soviet Government.

es gab hier mal ein video das wegen missbrauch gelöscht wurde.wer weiss was ich meine?eventuel das"vater unser"?

stuartsob Here are some medieval quotes about Khazars: " The Khazars and their king are all Jews" Ahmad-Ibn-Fadlan (the arab traveler). "All Khazars are Jews" Arab traveler Ibn-Al-Faqih "Ibn-Al-Athir tells how in the days of Harun, the emperor of Bizantium forsed the Jews to emigrate. They came to the Khazar country where they found intelligent but untutored race and offered them their religion. The Khazars found it better that their own and accepted it". Dimashqi (the arab historian).

@LutzBrux1 Slavs part of Europe ? Don't get me wrong. I wish there were a pan human union. Politically and economically the Slavs have been called part of Europe only when it was convenient to Europe. There were at least two "Crusades" against Orthodox Slavs. Power divided three ways is a little less dangerous than only two. Peter did behave badly when visiting England. The Teutonic Knights, Sweden, France, Germany all behaved much worse when 'visiting' Slavic lands and people.

Forgive what seems a political comment in answer to LutzBrux. I believe what is written in the Eighty Second Psalm. I think it anti Christian that we are divide and war amongst each other based on race, nation or religion. I would like to see a united world playing Good Shepherd to the Earth rather than poisoner and destroyer. Until then I will side with no one seeking power over other nations. That way, God might really be on my side. :) "a vot takoy prastoy" :)

it's hard for me to watch even something as beautiful as this without thinking of how terrible the 30s were in russia and ukraine. there was the holodomor of 1932-33, the harsh purges of 1937-38, and the refinement of the GULAG incarceration network :(

This is NOT Kol` Slaven!

@vladdrac88 Maybe because Slavs are part of Europe? At least in my book....

We also gave Karl Marx a safe haven - what's your problem? As for Berezofsky keeping 'his' money - we do not confiscate property - if, as you maintain, he's guilty of fraud then it's the responsibility of the accusing state to bring charges, not for the British Government to take a position before he's been charged and tried by his accusers. Granting Berezovsky political asylum and treating him as innocent until proved guilty is not collusion.

Europe a civilisation ? If you measure civilisation by success of conquest, perhaps one might count Europe civilised. Tell me ; what government is not corrupt or 'good' via temporary fortune. Sweden ? Once, even Sweden invaded Russia.

@vladdrac88 Exactly, there is a European Union ! So why would there be a need to create a Slavic one ??? Europe, european, these are the words for a greater entity ! Slavic, latin, germanic, etc are smaller entities. European unites all of these into one greater one ! Now you understand, or to i need to draw it to you ???

@vladdrac88 Musik und politik?Vergiss es!

I would like to see the evidence of British Government collusion with Berezofsky. If he supports Ukrainian nationalism he is free to do so provided his activities are not against the law in this country. As far as I'm aware the Ukraine is an independent state.

Correction: He received asylum in The United Kingdom. As for a blessing from the "English Government" - there hasn't been an English Government since 1707 - you must mean the British Government. As a free man he can do what he likes with his money - he would need neither government support nor permission. I suggest you seek out the motive of the company who made the documentary video.

Not long ago there was a documentary video made in the West about Boris Berezofsky who has received political asylum in England. It described how, with the blessings of the English government, he was funding anti Russian nationalist movements, particularly in Ukraine . As with Oil it may be more about resources than 'principals'.

stuartsob Some of the Khazars became muslims or christians but the official religion of Khazar kingdom was Judaism! And since khazar king and nobility became Jews it was only question of time for other khazars to become jews too! It was the same in each and every country: the religion of the rulers becomes the religion of commoners! Also Khazaria was very tolerant country, there were no religious presecution!

Спасибо!

Спасибо!
