This tribute band certainly warrants a deeper dive. They started with music of Chicago, later expanded to Earth, wind & Fire, Blood Sweat & Tears, Ides of March, and then some, each tribute incredibly close to the original.

She does well on her breath control, but the timing of each breath is slightly early, especially during the verses. Kesnia seems to use the top of each breath instead of Karen's middle exhalation & then her bottom breath. Karen took small breaths perhaps because she was also playing the drums. I poured over The Carpenter's Greatest Hits album for years & learned each song with the audible breaths in those songs. That study, along with learning to breathe for staged plays & public speaking to sustain notes on short breaths leads me to this HO. It is Leo-nid on the bass, BTW. Leo (as in the astrological sign) nid rhymes with lid. I don't believe they use Leah (as in Laia/Leaha Luke's sister). I adore L& F and have been following them for years.

I'm a musician of over 50 years and I've been watching Leonid's videos since he started posting them. While all the musicians in his core group, AND the ones he brings in for specific songs, are all really excellent, watch a dozen or so videos and pay close attention to Igor, the drummer. Even when you can't see him, listen for him, because he is one of THE best drummers I've ever heard! His skillset is virtually unlimited. It seems that there's nothing he can't do, and do it fantastically. He is the real deal! Really, they all are, but he's way above the bar. Check out their take on "One Fine Morning!" Wow!

Steve Gadd, Buddy Rich, Ed Shaughnessy, Neal Pert and Louie Bellson would most likely all have described Igor’s talent as God Give and God Blessed.

Leonid and Friends has redefined music.

Their Earth, Wind and Fire covers are extraordinary! They sound better than currently Chicago sounds. Ksenia is incredibly gorgeous who is a fantastic singer, too.

Listening to this brings tears to my eyes. Carpenters are my all-time favorite group and for Leonid & Friends to cover them (with this exceptional performance) is truly an honor. Thank you for reacting to this.

this one brought tears to my eyes. Closing my eyes, and listening to this I could see Karen Carpenter singing this. That's what this band does, they bring back the beauty of the bands they honor. Just beautiful!

Karen Carpenter has a very unique voice and you cannot fudge. This is just wonderfully done. This tribute band takes covers to a very high standard and their ability to perform...Tower of Power, Chicago, Blood Sweat and Tears, etc. with such accuracy to the original recordings is top notch. This group of performers is as good as it gets and lets not ignore the sound engineers that make the vocal and musical talent magic work so faithfully to the original recordings and then some.

Their cover of Earth, Wind & Fire’s “Fantasy”. Wow. Incredible. On point with everything, even Phillip Baileys vocals. Very much worth your time to see.

I found this group by accident a couple of years ago. Leonid is a genius. His story is amazing. The music they started with, Chicago, (my favorite band of all time) is master class. 7:16 Living in Russia, they had no access to any sheet music. Leonid transcribed the music for every instrument and vocal. With maybe 1 or 2 exceptions his singers and band members knew absolutely no English. He not only coached them on how to sing the songs but also made sure they understood exactly the meaning of the words they were singing. Ksenia Buzina his main female singer is fluent in 8 languages which had to be a huge help. When she sang Karen Carpenter I was amazed and can't wait for more.

Saw them in concert in the Austin area this fall. Excellent. BTW, Hal Blaine and Joe Osborn from the Wrecking Crew backed up the Carpenters along with the Ron Hicklin Singers on background vocals.

The bass player is looking around probably because that is Leonid the leader and producer of the band. This was amazing❗️

This band, Leonid & Friends is probably the greatest cover band on the planet. Every song, by every artist is dead on. Have been following them from the first songs they did.

So Beautiful. There are no Words How Great of A Cover This Is Truly Masters I Love all There Work What a Band. Wow. Every Emotion Captured in My ❤️ Heart. 😮😢😊. Pete Siny.

I just love watching Jeff's reaction to L&F's music, and apparently discovering for the very first time what thousands of fans across the USA have been drooling over for so very long. As someone has already pointed out, Richard Carpenter is apparently well aware of Ksenia's vocal masterpiece and, in fact, hosted her at his home while the band was on their latest California trip. I can't think that there has ever been a better cover band in the history of music on this entire planet! Everything they touch turns to gold!

Jeff, I am happy you liked "Superstar." I met the band a little over 4 years ago. I rapidly advanced from fan to friend to family. Not sure I deserve all the privileges that they give me. I go out on tour with them when I can. You can't find a nicer group of people anywhere. The talent this group has on stage all at once is incredible, yet they are all very humble. You won't find any divas here. I describe Ksenia Buzina as a multifaceted diamond. Besides her undeniable beauty, she is extremely talented. As someone noted earlier, Ksenia can speak and sing in multiple languages. She also has a degree in International Finance and is a piano virtuoso. I have been telling her that she is a "superstar" for quite some time now. I am glad she and the rest of the band are getting some of the recognition that they well deserve. Leonid (pronounced lay-o-nid) is the mastermind of this group. The band does not have prearranged charts to play from. Leonid painstakingly listens to the original studio recordings and writes out the parts (by ear) note for note for all the instruments! He is an absolute genius with absolute pitch. That is why the songs sound perfect like the original. They are as good live as they are in the studio. You must see them in concert. Their chemistry on stage and the interaction back and forth with the crowd is amazing. Valentin Zubakov posted a music video of "Superstar" with Leonid & Friends in one channel and The Carpenters in the other. You will be astounded how close those versions sound.

I am a huge fan of this group ever since I first started listening to them.

Fabulous cover of arguably the Carpenters' greatest recording. The lead singer lady perfectly nails Karen's rendition -- even down to the point her dress is the same as Karen wore when she sang Superstar at the 1972 Grammy's. But let's not forget that Karen did her classical rendition on a first-take work-lead -- with the lyrics on a napkin!

Amazing job covering a beautiful song. I've always thought that the real talent of Karen Carpenter was her ability to sing those buttery lows and her vibrato. This lady, Ksenia, comes about as close as anyone ever could to Karen.

Your smile as she begins singing says it all. :)

I got chills from this, it was so good, and I even got choked up a bit.

They do a cover of a pop song, the same way a major orchestra would do a cover of Beethoven. It’s with full appreciation and dead on note perfect precision.

It was a gorgeous rendition of this song. The vocals were also very nice. I still think Karen's voice was so pure. I miss her so much.

Im in my 60s. It transported me in time. What a powerful experience. We saw them in Durham, NC. Fantastic. Consummate musicians. Loved your review. Thanks.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. To add another layer of OMG, she is performing that close to Karen in a language that isn't even hers!! All the subtle nuances in pronunciation require immense attention and practice. Leonid puts all these performances together and has such a reputation that all these performers travel from great distances whenever he asks. He transcribes each part by ear!! Everyone learns their part and nail it. All of these musicians are successful in their own right but come together out of love for Leonid. They tour America each year...catch a show if you can!

You are on point on many counts. Ksenia was even invited to meet Richard. To be correct that praise to the drummer, which I also gave a while ago but said Hal Blaine is looking down and smiling. Hal was the original drummer. Now you gave this 10/10 and I’d agree, almost. What if there’s an 11/10 of another Carpenters classic? I’m leaving one letter and we’ll revisit this soon. T. Wonderful reaction. I’m already a subscriber but missed this gem. Also credit to Richard Carpenter for his original arrangement. Masterful. Joe

I especially like the oboe, brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard this recording. And, oh yeah, the French horns…lovely! The Classical Guitar was an unexpected delight. I can identify with the trombone player, he definitely did his job. Trumpets “sang”their part. Sax and piano were not a highlight written part on this song, but definitely adding support. Not really an electric guitar highlight song either, but so well played. Drums, so tight, didn’t step on anyone. Electric bass..felt as well as heard. Harp, delightful!

I've been watching L&F's tributes (we really can't consider this level of meticulous accuracy as a "cover") for about a year. Whith Superstar, they not only nail Richard Carpenter's orchestration, but Ksenia absolutely hits dead center on Karen's vocals. I've not seen anyone come as close as she has in sounding like our much missed Karen.

I got hooked on L&F during the C19 stay-at-home era. I recently saw them live in Texas, and I have to say it was phenomenal. I could close my eyes and be transported back to a 1970's Chicago concert I never got to experience, though they were my #1 band back then. There is sooo much talent & humility in L&F.

This track is absolutely stunning as it evokes memories of KC, but in the same breath, brings us a modern update on what is a classic song. Leonid & friends, sprinkled with the angelic voice of Ksenia Buzina have absolutely nailed it!

A little deeper down this rabbit hole you'll find their cover of Steely Dan's "My Old School " featuring the Rox Bros. And yes, Ksenia is GORGEOUS and sings like a bird

The bass player is the leader and transcribed all the parts by ear listening to the original track. Also, Hal Blaine was the drummer on the record with Joe Osborn on bass. Both were part of The Wrecking Crew.

I know that Karen Carpenter did this, but the first time I heard this song was on the Joe Cocker collaboration,"Mad Dogs and Englishmen" on which Rita Coolidge, the Delta Lady sang the hell out of it. A great album is my aged recollection of it.... Leonid and Friends is obviously more than a Chicago tribute band, they are a tribute to the era band.

I heard them perform this song live in concert last month. Gave me chills! Their story and their music is worth the time.

Leonid and friends are just awesome

think that was the first one i watched and swore they were faking it. then researched and listened to all their covers and fell in love with them.

I’ve seen artists from Buddy Rich to Steve Perry with Journey to EWF, to recently Seal with Trevor Horn. I have never been moved as much as I was by Leonid & Friends. They’re great musicians. The love what the do. They exude a contagious joy. I’d recommend checking out their cover of EWF’s “In the Stone.”

It can't get any better than this group! No one can top them!

Yes, you are in for a treat because everything I have seen by them and I've watched numerous pieces, is just as beautifully performed and orchestrated as was this. It almost gives one a headache - not to mention boggles the mind - the amount of talent and brain brain power; musical and vocal abilities their productions evidence and contain. We humans are indeed a marvelous species - when we devote ourselves to pursuing good rather than evil; help inspire rather hinder wonder and joy.

Oh yes, they are incredibly talented and passionate!!! Really really good 👌🏼🥰. Relatively new acquaintance to me - believe, it was their “Ain’t Nobody”-cover being introduced to me as my first listen …. thank you very much for this suggestion and reaction both of you 👍🏼🤗.

Leonid & Friends began as what was only meant to be a one off project, a present from producer Leonid Vorobyev to himself for his 60th birthday. That initial video became popular enough on KZread that he decided to follow it up with another, and so on. The line up has changed a bit over the years, but their accuracy in replicating the music of Chicago, Earth Wind and Fire, and any other group they set their sights on is phenomenal. Ksenia, the vocalist in this video, has performed in seven or eight languages and also has a degree in global economics. Her role in the group has grown over the past couple of years from solely a backup singer to lead vocalist on several numbers. This is a rabbit hole you're truly going to enjoy going down. By the way, Leonid had no access to sheet music for the initial songs they recorded and personally transposed every part by ear.

I agree with your 10 out of 10 review. It was flawless. Thank you for your reaction video.

That's Ksenia doing what she does 😊. She's amazing at everything. The bass is Leonid. It was his birthday present from his friends to play some Chicago but over the past 5 years, they expanded to EWF, Chaka Khan, and more. They just toured the west coast.

Leonid and Friends have been doing covers/tributes for many years starting with Chicago and now do EWF Steely Dan among others. They have been touring for a few years. Just fantastic 😊 Ksenia Buzina is the vocalist doing this and is beyond awesome....

I am so in love with Ksenia . Just touched my soul and heart so much!

Leonid and Friends is top tier. Their Chicago stuff is unrivaled...by even Chicago. The strings section is usually inhabited by the Official Moscow Symphony I think. the bass player is the head honcho. Start your Chicago rabbit hole with 25 or 6 to 4.

Saw them at MGM in Northfield Ohio, they were GREAT!

Just brings me back to growing up in the 70's when life was easy and all love and music. Kids today have no idea what they missed. Ksenia is amazing and the entire band is truly amazing musicians. Ive been following them since the first video aired as a guft to Leonid for a birthday gift. Ive also had the pleasure of seeing them in concert 4 times now, meeting afterwards and staying in contact with social media. They are all truly special ❤
