Description
|
|
|
|
Some of Russia's greatest writers—Tolstoy, Pushkin, Pasternak and others—translated the verses of Shakespeare, Byron, and Shelley. All are represented on this CD in settings by composers familiar (Glinka, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninov, Shostakovich) and not so familiar (Arensky, Taneyev, Lyatoshinsky, Kabalevsky). Four of Shakespeare's sonnets are included, and the CD booklet has the original English verses along with Russian transliterations. "Even more impressive than their two previous collections … Merits a very strong recommendation."—Fanfare "Russian composers have set many English poems to music, and here we have some of the best."—Classic FM
