Fantastic Songs from a great show

Started watching Masha and the Bear because of my daughter, and quickly noticed the songs throughout the show were better than your average kid's show songs. I'm a musician and songwriter and can recognize great songriting and composition.
Composers Vasily Bogatyrev Elsie Fisher, and Mikhail Shtangrud have crafted some great, catchy, and beautiful songs in these albums. Compact songs with great songwriting and arrangement, modulations at just the right time, nice, unique chord changes, and VERY memorable melodies. Lots of rhythmic interest as well, Russian folk rhythms accented with little syncopations and colorful percussion. Very tasteful orchestra parts throughout also. I love the attention to detail in the music.
My daughter has watched all the seasons many, many times so I got very familiar with the music and discovered these albums were on iTunes. Never get tired of them.
