Russian Dreams
A journey to Russia, as summoned into existence by the imagination of poets and musicians: natives, exiles and foreigners. Music by a French composer, Tournemire, conjures up the bells of Moscow, and verses by Marina Tsvetaeva give a Russian literary slant on the same subject. Igor Stravinsky depicts his homeland from two perspectives - resident and emigre. With poems by Anna Akhmatova , Mikhail Lermontov , and Osip Mandelstam, and music by Borodin, John Field and Benny Goodman. EMAIL: wordsandmusic@bbc.co.uk
