Tutkimaton Boris Sirpo & Viipurin musiikin menestystarina

Keväällä 1939 suomalaisen musiikin historiassakirjoitettiin uusi lehti, kun 13-vuotias viipurilainen Heimo Haitto voitti Lontoossa kansainvälisen viulukilpailun. Heti kesällä Toivo Särkkä teki nuoresta viuluvirtuoosista elokuvan Pikku pelimanni.Miksi lahjakas lapsi tuotiin juuri Viipuriin ja jätettiin kasvatiksi armenianjuutalaiselle Boris Sirpolle? Syynä oli Viipurin Musiikkiopiston ylivertainen maine Suomessa. Boris Sirpo oli perustanut opiston sisällissodan raunioille, sen jälkeen kun kaupungin musiikkielämän keskeinen henkilö, säveltäjä Toivo Kuula oli kuollut väkivallan uhrina jääkärien huuruisten voitonjuhlien jälkeen.Kunnianhimoisella Sirpolla riitti Viipurissa ihailijoita ja vihamiehiä. Kovalla työllä hän onnistui nostamaan opistonsa kansainväliselle tasolle, ja nuorten ammattisoittajien voimin Viipurin kaupunginorkesteri perustettiin uudelleen kymmenen vuoden hiljaisuuden jälkeen. Sirpo itse nousi sinfoniaorkesterin kapellimestariksi.Edessä oli kuitenkin uusi tragedia. Boris Sirpon 20 vuoden aikana rakentama menestystarina päättyi äkisti marraskuussa 1939, kun talvisota syttyi ja pommit putosivat Viipuriin.Viipurin musiikin menestystarinassa särmikkään Sirpon ympärillä kuplii 1920-1930-lukujen kosmopoliittinen karjalainen kaupunki taiteilijoineen, teattereineen ja ravintoloineen Terijoen hiekkoja unohtamatta.”Hän oli niin demoninen ja vastustamaton loihtiessaan musiikkia orkesterista, että näin ihan sähkökipinöitä sinkoavan hänen selästään”, viulutaiteilija Heimo Haitto muisteli myöhemmin Boris Sirpoa, jota hän sekä rakasti että pelkäsi.

Russian-speaking Jews from the former Soviet Union are a peculiarity in the Jewish world. After decades living in a repressive, nominally atheistic state, these Jews did manage to retain a strong sense of Jewish identity--but one that was almost completely divorced from Judaism. Today, more than ten percent of Jews speak or understand Russian, signaling the importance of an ever-vexing question: why are Russian Jews the way they are? In pursuit of an answer, Anna Shternshis's groundbreaking When Sonia Met Boris draws on nearly 500 oral history interviews on the Soviet Jewish experience with Soviet citizens who were adults by the 1940s. Soviet Jews lived through tumultuous times: the Great Terror, World War II, the anti-Semitic policies of the postwar period, and the collapse of the Soviet Union. But like millions of other Soviet citizens, they married, raised children, and built careers, pursuing life as best as they could in a profoundly hostile environment. One of the first scholars to record and analyze oral testimonies of Soviet Jews, Shternshis unearths heartbreaking, deeply poignant, and often funny stories of the everyday choices Jews were forced to make as a repressed minority living in a totalitarian regime. Shternshis reveals how ethnicity rapidly transformed into a disability, as well as a negative characteristic, for Soviet Jews in the postwar period. That sense of Jewish identity has persisted well into the twenty-first century, influencing the children and grandchildren of Shternshis's subjects, the foundational generation of contemporary Russian Jewish culture. An illuminating work of social and cultural history, When Sonia Met Boris traces the fascinating contours of contemporary Russian Jewish identity back to their very roots.

Boris Godunov is the most fascinating and problematic of all of Pushkin's texts. The story of The Uncensored Boris Godunov is really a kind of detective novel: why the earlier draft has not been preferred by Pushkin scholars, why perhaps it should be, and how history proper and literary history in particular have clouded the issue of what could have been the definitive text.

Persuasively argues for including the original, 1825 version of the play Boris Godunov (later eclipsed by the politically correct edition) in the canon of Pushkin's works. Includes the 1825 Russian text and the only English translation of that version.

Modest Musorgsky and Boris Godunov

Modest Musorgsky and Boris Godunov

Caryl Emerson; Oldani Robert William

Cambridge University Press
1994

Caryl Emerson (a literary specialist) and Robert William Oldani (a music historian) take a new and comprehensive look at the most famous Russian opera, Modest Musorgsky’s Boris Godunov. The result is both a historical study of a famous work and an interpretative piece of scholarship. The topics discussed include: the ‘Boris Tale’ in history; Karamzin’s history and Pushkin’s drama as literary sources; Musorgsky’s innovations as a librettist and as a theorist of the sung Russian word; the strange story of the opera’s composition and revision; its first productions at home and abroad; and an in-depth musical analysis. In the process, several often-met errors in Musorgsky scholarship are clarified and corrected. A final chapter speculates on the opera’s themes of political murder, guilt, and legitimacy - so important to Russian literary and national identity in the 19th and 20th centuries - and the new role the ‘Boris plot’ and its composer might come to play in more recent phases of Russian cultural life. The volume contains a selection of classic texts in criticism, numerous production photographs, a bibliography and a discography.

The Poetic World of Boris Pasternak

The Poetic World of Boris Pasternak

Olga Raevsky Hughes

Princeton University Press
2015
pokkari
The dramatic political struggle of Boris Pasternak and the continued success of his novel. Dr. Zhivago, have often taken center stage in discussions of this writer. Olga Raevsky Hughes chooses instead to focus on the aesthetics underlying Pasternak's snuggles and successes to explore the ways in which his views of art and the artist were applied in his writings. Professor Hughes examines those aspects of Pasternak's views on art that he himself considered crucial: the beginnings of poetry in his life, the relation of his art to life, his relationship to his time, and his responsibility to lite and to society. Pasternak's views on art are analyzed as he himself saw them in his autobiographies, critical essays, and letters; and also as they were reflected in his work. Pasternak is allowed to speak for himself: accordingly, all of his published works are used, including letters, little-known works, and available variants of his early poems. Originally published in 1975. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Cette etude se concentre sur le caractere grotesque de l'oeuvre abondante et variee creee par Boris Vian (1920-1959). Au cours d'une analyse textuelle detaillee, il ressort que personnages humains, animaux, objets et decors vianesques sont interchangeables a la maniere des elements qui peuplent les grotesques picturaux de la Renaissance. Ce monde imaginaire est base sur une structure semblable a celle du carnaval, tel que le concoit Bakhtine, ou l'on assiste a un renversement systematique du haut vers le bas et a une predominance des elements corporels topographiquement bas. L'exces et l'exageration s'averent etre des elements essentiels de l'oeuvre de Vian et ils permettent de l'associer au grotesque medieval, joyeux, et au grotesque contemporain, plus serieux.
