Description

Sergei Yesenin left us a wonderful poetic legacy. Yesenin’s lyrics conquer and captivate us with his “singing captivity”—the astonishing harmony of feeling and words, thought and image. These are poems you can listen to again and again, each time finding something new and close to you. Poems that can be memorized and sung with a guitar even by those who, in general, don’t read poetry—because Yesenin is not just a poet with a phenomenal gift; he is the singing soul of Russia.
