Piece Description
SUGGESTED INTRO: Known in Russia as "the voice of an epoch," Bella Akhmadulina is one of the century's foremost poets, reaching prominence during the Soviet era. Born in 1937, her youth witnessed the transition from Stalin to Kruschev and she prospered in a society shedding its ideological constraints. During the 1960s her colleagues Yevgeny Yevtushenko and Andrei Voznesensky experimented with innovative poetic styles focusing on current issues of the day. Akhmadulina preferred traditional language to capture the mood and sentiments of the time. Her poem "Sound Pointing the Way" is read by Tanya Ivushkina in Russian and English with music by Igor Stravinsky. OUTRO: That was Bella Akmadulina's poem "Sound Pointing the Way" read in Russian and English by Tanya Ivushkina.
