Say what you will about the Red Army, but their Alexandrov Choir is probably the best on Earth.
No further proof is needed but this rendition of the most popular Russian song, Kalinka. I couldn't find the name of the soloist, but his voice is incredible, and the reason I had to find and watch the whole of Total Balalaika Show.
The "clowns" jumping to and fro are the Leningrad Cowboys, a Finnish band born from the imagination of the Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki. They rose to prominence after this concert, who took place in June 1993, in Helsinki. They sing mostly covers, and their original songs are a mix of polka rhythms, rock ballads, punk and Russian folklore.
Watch Kalinka on YouTube.
