The orchestral illustrations to A. Pushkin’s story "Snow-Storm" are
based on Georgi Sviridov’s music to the film of the same name. Sviridov’s
music corresponds to the utmost with the spirit of Pushkin’s story, its simple
and unaffected manner, the naiveté of the heroes and their harmoniously
balanced perception of life. The music is permeated by the melodic rather
originally and exquisitely. The overall orchestral coloring reveals a modern
master, creating a fine stylization of another musical era.
In "Pushkin’s Garland"
Georgy Sviridov used the form of Russian choral concerto, combining features of
great epic canvasses and lyrical chamber miniatures. "Pushkin’s
Gerald" is a real garland of Pushkin’s poetry - wonderful flowers and a
wreath of laurels to the poet. There is a large number of different versatile
themes, tunes and airs. Every moment they appear in new compositions and give
rise to new contrasts creating amazing unity at the same time.
