"Likely to leave you appreciatively speechless!"
(Jim Foley, Roots World )
The FolkWorld Live Act Top Ten 1999.
"A bewitching concert in 'Moments' (Bremen, Germany) – The bass player's grandiose performance is the constantly pulsating core of this ensemble. Kalachev connects the singer's beguiling voice with the occasionally Celtic-like sounds of the reed instruments – bagpipes, clarinets and various flutes – and the multifaceted, rocky percussion. In the folk song arrangements and compositions by Zhelannaya and Kalachev, a delicate, sometimes even playful balance between the traditional and the modern is always perceivable. This makes the music of the FARLANDERS an original and refreshing experience – far beyond folk music pepped up with pop ingredients."
(André Hesel, Weser Kurier, Bremen/Germany)
