Akhmatova Requiem (1980) sets a sequence of poems written during the Stalinist purges of the 1930s by Anna Akhmatova, describing the terror of having her family and friends arrested and imprisoned, and the lines of relatives waiting hopelessly outside Leningrad jail. To her poems, Tavener added prayers from the Russian Orthodox funeral service which are sung on this recording by bass-baritone John Shirley-Quirk.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp.six russian folk songs represent in the composer words musical sigh of relief and a complete contrast to pain sorrow requiem they were written for nash ensemble anniversary simple settings lyrics their melodic nature recalls tchaikovsky songs.\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis recording was previously issued by Carlton Classics in its BBC Radio Classics series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem Requiem\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem I Dedication\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem II Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem III\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem IV\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem V\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem VI\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem VII\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem VIII\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem IX\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem X The Sentence\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem XI To Death\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem XII\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem XIII Crucifixion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem XIV\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem XV\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem XVI Epilogue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Akhmatova Requiem XVII Epilogue II\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Six Russian Folk Songs I O dark autumn night\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Six Russian Folk Songs II In the garden stands a pretty birch tree\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Six Russian Folk Songs III Darling, let us walk by the banks of the Volga\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Six Russian Folk Songs IV I have seen the great wide world\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Six Russian Folk Songs V Pretty maid, why do you stare so longingly?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Tavener: Six Russian Folk Songs VI Kalinka\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/p.six\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55143031079297,"sku":"805309","price":16.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51OOAn9ywaL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767647215","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/805309","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
