Evgeny Belyaev with the Alexandrov Ensemble in the mid-1970s, conducted by Boris Alexandrovich Alexandrov.

Too bad he passed away some 22 years ago. Trump could have invited him.
And the Alexandrov Ensemble is just bone chilling !! There is still time to engage them, eh !!!

I heard/saw them in January, 1985 in Leningrad, the night AFTER seeing both Pertoushka and Le Sacre du Printemps at the Kirov, now the Mariinsky Theater.
