Fantastically gripping performance; for vocal/chamber/theatre combined, hard to imagine better. The rôle-change with the pianist, the touches of tuning hammer, or cloak...all add to the surreal atmosphere; i'm sure Shostakovich would have been suitably amused! Marvellous to have this on video, thank you!

[@ELENAMINDLINA]

Thank you very much for speaking so highly of our work! This Shostakovich's masterpiece is one my most favorite pieces to perform, which I never get tired of. I am so glad you've enjoyed watching it. Thanks a lot! With kindest regards, Elena P.S. Would love to know your name :)

Отлично. Идеально слышан текст (что тут принципиально важно), очень артистично (и не само по себе, а для выражения именно текста), спето тоже весьма качественно. Браво

Wonderful performances. I translated some of these Satires into English years ago, and really should complete them; and Helene really should sing them too. Your rendition is a model to emulate - just like your Medvedovskaya performance! The use of the tuning hammer as a prop in the single-tone sections is ingenious. (A model for me too!) Love to both of you - Leonard (& Helene) Lehrman

[@shirelledashevsky7676]

Hi, Leonard & Helene. I really would like to look at your translation! Would you share it with me, please? May be I will sing it.

[@ELENAMINDLINA]

Thanks a lot, Leonard & Helene!

[@ProfEHLehrmanMemFdn]

I translated #1 & 2 back in 1977 and performed them at Cornell. Just finished #3, and am working on #4 & 5. Please send me your email address. Write me at . Thank you - Leonard J. Lehrman
