Representing Russia’s Orient
At the heart of Adalyat Issiyeva’s impressively researched, richly documented, and persuasively argued new monograph lies a simple, yet powerful thesis: namely, that ‘Russia’s (musical) ethnographies about its Asian and Caucasian neighbors played a pivotal role in the formation and development of Russia’s own musical identity’ (p. 4). To be sure, the question of Russian musical orientalism is hardly new. In 1883, Vladimir Stasov identified the ‘e…
By the waters of the Tiber
In Russia, the impact of the end of World War I was subsumed under the far greater impact of the October Revolution, which led to a bifurcation of Russian culture into Soviet and émigré branches. This article examines a hybrid literary and musical work from the interwar period: Viacheslav Ivanov’s nine Roman Sonnets ( Rimskie sonety, 1924) and the musical settings that the composer Aleksandr Grechaninov made of five of these as his Sonetti Romani…
Introduction
This introduction offers a survey of some important critical approaches to the ways in which the First World War and its aftermath have been studied, conceptualized, represented and commemorated. In particular, it notes recent scholarly interest in issues of gender, as well as a focus on widening the geographical range of the conflict beyond a dominant European paradigm. A recurrent theme is the emergence of new types of modernity in the post-war…

That's Not the Only Reason We Love Him
This article examines the writing and reception of Tchaikovskii's biography in Russia since 1991, arguing that there has been a constant tension between documentary approaches to the composer's life on the one hand, and popular responses that have frequently resisted scholarly narratives on the other. After the Soviet collapse, a number of former taboos relating to Tchaikovskii's life were lifted, including his homosexuality. Documentary sources …

Rachmaninoff's Complete Songs
At first glance, the cover illustration of Richard D. Sylvester’s Rachmaninoff’s Complete Songs: A Companion with Texts and Translations suggests an image of the composer as an isolated figure; staring lugubriously at the camera, Rachmaninoff appears here as the virtuoso solo pianist, a view perpetuated by a lovely charcoal drawing by Leonid Pasternak reproduced inside. Taken together, these images might give the impression that Rachmaninoff was …
Intimacy and Distance
This article examines Valentin Silvestrov's Tikhie pesni (Quiet Songs, also translated as Silent Songs, 1974–77) from the point of view of its handling of the genre of song within the context of Brezhnev-era stagnation (zastoi). First it considers both Silvestrov's choice of canonical poetic texts and stylized musical language as evidence of the cycle's retrospective nostalgia. It then argues that Silvestrov's understanding of song is fundamental…
The Mountain of the Mind
This article explores the prominent role played by visual tropes in Andrei Platonov's Turkmen novella,Dzhan(Soul). While acknowledging Platonov's literary inventiveness, it seeks to identify the equal importance of the gaze as a means of emotional and ideological cognition, thereby arguing that the shift in emphasis in his prose in the mid-1930s entailed not just a move away from explicitly linguistic experimentation but also a greater embrace of…
The Cambridge Companion to Twentieth-Century Russian Literature
In Russian history, the twentieth century was an era of unprecedented, radical transformations - changes in social systems, political regimes, and economic structures. A number of distinctive literary schools emerged, each with their own voice, specific artistic character, and ideological background. As a single-volume compendium, the Companion provides a new perspective on Russian literary and cultural development, as it unifies both émigré lite…
