When taken literally, the title Russia Cast Adrift can sound like a vast endeavour for this “vocal poem” by Russian, Soviet and then Russian again composer Georgy Sviridov (1915-1998), a work both glittering and dark, initially written in 1956 for tenor and piano. Dmitri Hvorostovsky, who knew the composer well, was aware of the fact that he had expressed the wish to direct his work, but ran out of time and then… Here is an orchestration by Evgeny Stetsyuk, for whom it is a world premiere recording. Not limiting himself to a “normal” orchestra, Stetsyuk added a Russian traditional music ensemble, with instruments such as the domra (a sort of very ancient mandolin), the balalaika (which everyone knows), the bayan – the ultimate Russian accordion – and the gusli, a psaltery dating back to the Middle Age. Sviridov, a fierce defender of Russian music, was deeply inspired in his work by tradition, in the way it was developed by Mussorgsky for instance, without giving unduly influence to his professor Shostakovich, and even less to the various currents of 20th-century Russia. A “simple” but never simplistic music, deeply moving, strongly defended by Hvorostovsky with undeniable admiration for the composer. Let us hope this album will give the composer an international exposure, as he’s been so far mostly restricted to Russian-speaking spheres. © SM/Qobuz
