TROIKA: Russia's westerly poetry in 3 orchestral cycles Julia Kogan, soprano The St. Petersburg Chamber Philharmonic conducted by Jeffery Meyer Released by Harmonia Mundi 2013 - NEW CD+ booklet in shrink wrap Julia Kogan's crystalline and perfectly poised voice is the ideal vehicle for this original and mostly unpublished repertoire. I can't wait to see where she goes next! Troika: Russia's westerly poetry in three orchestral song cycles is a 2011 album of contemporary classical songs performed by soprano Julia Kogan, who also conceived the project.[1] She is accompanied by The St. Petersburg Chamber Philharmonic conducted by Jeffery Meyer. The songs are set to Russian, English, and French language poetry by five classic Russian writers: Joseph Brodsky, Mikhail Lermontov, Vladimir Nabokov, Aleksandr Pushkin and Fyodor Tyutchev. Eight modern composers, from France, Russia, and the United States, wrote music for the album: Isabelle Aboulker, Ivan Barbotin, Eskender Bekmambetov, Jay Greenberg, James DeMars, Andrey Rubtsov, Michael Schelle and Lev Zhurbin. The three song cycles on the album are "there...", set to Russian poems and their English auto-translations by Joseph Brodsky; "Sing, Poetry", set to Russian poems and their English auto-translations by Vladimir Nabokov; and "Caprice etrange", set to French poems by Mikhail Lermontov, Aleksandr Pushkin and Fyodor Tyutchev. The common point of the three song cycles is that they are based upon poetry that reflects its authors' active linguistic integration into Western culture. The album was released in France on 8 December 2011 with international release to follow in 2012. It was featured on Radio France[8] and has been praised for its "irresistible charm", "musicality of the singing", and "originality and quality of realization" [9] as well as for its "luxurious" presentation and "Julia Kogan's magical voice".
