About

For the people of Russia Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966) is a legend. She was one of the Great Russian poets, a real link between the culture of the so called Silver Age (1900-1914) - and the Soviet era. During the Soviet Era her books were almost impossible to come by such was the power of her words against the tyrannical Stalinist regime.

Set behind the words are a selection of pieces with high significance to the poetry. For example Poem Without A Hero is set against the Shostakovich Cello Concerto No. 1 and Britten's Suite for Cello Op. 87.
