Russian Folk Orchestra Performs a Beautifully Tranquil Cover of ‘Stairway to Heaven’ on Six Balalaikas

A sextet of balalaika players from the N.P. Osipov National Academic Folk Instruments Orchestra of Russia performed a beautifully tranquil cover of the iconic Led Zeppelin song “Stairway to Heaven”. The sweet melodic sound of the traditional instrument complements the fantastical nature of the song and the legendary album from which it came.
