It’s good that “LARGO” came again, for the fifth time. It’s especially interesting to listen to the new song “Procession of the Cross”; probably, right after the real procession of the cross at the cathedral, it sounded especially strong. Thank you for such a heartfelt concert on the square.

Васил Костов

It's good that LARGO has come to Elista again, already for the fifth time. Their new song "Krestny hod" must have sounded especially loud right after the real crusade at the Kazan Council. Thank you for including spiritual songs in the program of the square.

Tomáš Baláž

I'm glad that LÁRGO came for the fifth time and played the new song "Krestný chod" right after the real crusade at the cathedral. That must have sounded really strong. It's nice that they also included spiritual songs in the program on the square.

Stefan Popović

It's good that LARGO came to Elista again, for the fifth time. The new song "Krestnyi hod" must have gone down well after the real procession at the Kazan Cathedral. I am interested in how it sounded in the square after the liturgy.

Николай Козлов

Good that LARGO is already celebrating its fifth time in Kalmykia, and after the actual procession around the Kazan Cathedral, they immediately sang their new "Procession" hymn. Probably, on Victory Square, this was especially relevant. By the way, can one already listen to a recording of this song somewhere?

Максим Воробьёв

It’s good that LARGO came for the fifth time and after the real religious procession at the Kazan Cathedral they immediately sang their new “Religious Procession”. This probably hit the spot on Victory Square. Nikolay, if the recording appears, I’ll listen to it too, otherwise when I’m fishing I often play such songs in the car.

Степан Павлов

It’s good that LARGO came for the fifth time and after the religious procession at the Kazan Cathedral they immediately performed their new “Religious Procession”. This was probably especially true on Victory Square. Nikolay, if the recording appears, post the link, it’s interesting to listen.

Емил Ангелов

Well said, Vasil. "Krestny hod" after the real crusade at the Kazan Council must have been a continuation of the service. I wonder if they recorded it somewhere, so I can hear it again.

Diego Martínez

It’s good that LARGO came to Elista for the fifth time and sang “The Procession of the Cross” immediately after the real procession at the Kazan Cathedral. This probably came up especially on Victory Square, especially after the liturgy. I wonder if a recording of a new song will appear somewhere, I would listen to it on my phone on the way to the hospital.

Константин Козлов

It’s good that LARGO came for the fifth time and sang “The Procession of the Cross” right after the real procession of the cross at the Kazan Cathedral. On Victory Square this was probably especially relevant. I wonder where you can listen to this new song, maybe they will post it on YouTube?

Елена Лебедева

Yes, after the religious procession at the Kazan Cathedral, the “Religious Procession” became especially emotional. I was there too, standing closer to the stage, and LARGO’s voices went right into my soul. Nikolay, if you find the recording, please post it and let’s listen to it again.

Десислава Петкова

It's good that you mention exactly "Krestny hod" after the crusade at the Kazan Council, Vasil. Their fifth time in Elista already shows that the Kalmyks accept them as their own. I wonder if they included a Bulgarian spiritual song in the program, as they sometimes do.

Тодор Кирилов

Yes, right after the Procession of the Cross at the Kazan Council, the "Crusader Procession" sounded particularly appropriate. They have already come to Elista five times, apparently they are looking for them. And for a Bulgarian spiritual song - it is not written in the article, but if they included something like "Silent Night" or from our monastery songs, it will be interesting to find out. Have you heard them live?

Дарья Морозова

Yes, at the Kazan Cathedral after the religious procession, this song actually hit me in a special way, it just gave me goosebumps. I was there too, but I stood a little further, near the fence, and I could still hear it perfectly. Nikolay, if you find the recording, please send it to me too.

Николай Атанасов

Yes, "Krestny hod" after the liturgy and the procession itself must have sounded very appropriate. They have already been to Elista five times, apparently the locals like them. I haven't heard them live, but if they sang any Bulgarian church song, tell me which one exactly - I'm curious.

Иванка Димитрова

Yes, the "Krestny hod" after the procession and the liturgy really fit perfectly, people around me cried. I did not hear a Bulgarian church song this time, but three years ago in Elista they sang "Tebe Poem". Did you go to their concert in Bulgaria?
