The orchestral illustrations to Alexander Pushkin story "Snow-Storm" are based on Georgy Sviridov music to the film of the same name. Sviridov's music corresponds to the spirit of Pushkin’s story, its simple and unaffected manner, the naivete of the heroes and their harmoniously balanced perception of life. Each musical illustration is based on a beautiful catchy melody. Orchestration demonstrates Sviridov's skills in depicting another musical era.
"Pushkin’s Garland" by Georgy Sviridov has the form of Russian choral concerto combining features of great epic canvasses and lyrical chamber miniatures. "Pushkin’s Garland" is a real garland of Pushkin’s poetry - wonderful flowers and a wreath of laurels to the poet.
