From Moscow, Russia, this is a rousing patriotic work from a concert commemorating the Russian victory in WWII. Directing the choir and orchestra in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory is Vladimir Fedoseyev. I remember seeing Alexander Solzhinitsyn in the audience. The lyrics are as follows: Arise huge country arise to the mortal fight With the dark fascist force with the damned horde Let noble fury boil up in a wave There is a national holy war Let noble fury boil up in a wave There is a people's holy war We shall repulse the suffocaters of all ardent ideas Those tyrants, robbers, torturers of peoples Let noble fury boil up in a wave There is a people's holy war The dark wings dare not fly over our native land The enemy dare not trample her spacious fields Let noble fury boil up in a wave There is a people's holy war The rotten fascist unclean We will drive out with a bullet to the forehead United with mankind we will hammer out a mighty coffin Let noble fury boil up in a wave There is a people's holy war Let noble fury boil up in a wave There is a people's holy war courtesy - Elizabeth 1952 - youTUBE.com |
