The Red Sarafan by Alexander Varlamov

It can't be underestimated how important it is for man to find his own place in life nor it can be predicted how great consequent results may be. When a man is really enthusiastic about something he can do much more than the one doing the same out of neccessity or to make a living. Why I'm telling you that? Well, to make it clear how composer Alexander Varlamov managed to create some of the finest and the most authentic folkloric Russian songs – he simply understood at some point that it – and not sacred and secular music that he used to compose as well, – is something he is particularly good at. I can't help but agree with his decision to focus on it foremost – many of Varlamov's works are exemplary Russian folk songs, for instance The Red Sarafan, a lyrical and beautiful composition.
