Reminiscent of an old Soviet song from fifty years ago, within The White Birch Forest, sound of Soviet musical instrumentation, including accordion and classical guitar, create an eerie, maudlin atmosphere.
This beautiful, sad song tells of a young couple who fall in love with each other in a snow-covered birch forest. Later the young man dies on a battle-field, but his disbelieving lover returns to the forest day after day, waiting for him to find his way back home.
