Elena Obraztsova  - mezzo-soprano
Georgy Sviridov – piano

If Georgy Sviridov (b1915) chafed under the musical restrictions of the Soviet regime, he never said so. One of his preferred media has been solo song, where official pressure was not at its heaviest. A cycle of 12 songs, Russia Cast Adrift, proves him a composer of individuality and strength, some striking chordal formations bursting out of an old-fashioned style. The texts – with some enigmatic religious references – are by Yesenin, a notable poet who committed suicide in 1925. --- Arthur Jacobs, BBC Music Magazine
