Falik Yu. Zvenidyen. 5 Poems to the Verses of A. Akhmatova. 2 Songs to the Verses of Desanka Maksimovich

Yury Falik is one of the most performed St Petersburg composers. His musical style is crisp and clear, open emotional attitude and poetic musical language ensure the success that his works always had by the audience. 

In the series Golden Vocal Repertoire our Publishing house presents three cycles for voice and piano written on the verses by three Silver Age poets. the best loved by the composer. Every singer will be able to find реу music in this album according to his/her taste. Russian styled Zveniden inspires with its colours, from transparent Sviridov-like Old letters on the verses by M. Voloshin and Nocturne on the verses by I. Severianin, to gut-wrenching Prichet (wailing lamentation, tr.) by Akhmatova to rollicking Drunkard’s Night Song and Stravinsky-style Kolokol-balabol. Five verses by Anna Akhmatova is quite another story. The music language is complex, the music material becomes polyphonic and orchestra-like. The final two songs on the verses by serb poet Desanka Maximovich, the contemporary of Akhmatova, unsophisticated and simple, tell the stories about love expectations.
