Quite simply, one of the best YT videos I have ever seen and heard. Learned, and also exquisitely beautiful. Thank you, and congratulations on this achievement.
Thank you for this labor of love bringing forth the painful lives of Osip and Nadezhda in that Time of Tyranny that I hope (against hope, not yet abandoning hope) will give us the necessary lessons of loss so we can learn to stop it happening worldwide as Covid1984.
Thank you so very much for these brilliant translations, exquisite readings and an exceedingly charming portrait of Mandelstam. What a luxury to have these presentations available to all!
Dear David, Lucy and Alla, I wanna thank you for creating this amazing Lecture. I am a Native Russian speaker, but was interested in any lectures available in English and was happy to find this gem. This was so beautiful, thank you!
Dear Platon, We are so pleased that you liked our lecture, and your comments are enormously appreciated. You may be interested in this link, in which you'll find 8 other talks/readings: ua-cam.com/video/oFEk_nN7mJ0/v-deo.html Very best wishes, David
@@davidbrummell5393 thank you! I will definitely watch those lectures on Blok and Gumilev, I am a HUGE fan of Silver Age poetry (especially in current times they give that oppositional/antiregime spirit that we Russians really need right now. As Mandelatam wrote, we are living, but can't feel the land where we stay). I had lot's of lectures on Pushkin at school obviously. Do you have any lectures about Lermontov, especially his "Poet's Death"? Thank you very much for your recommendations!!!
@@platonmakinen8280 Dear Platon, Many thanks for these further comments. I am pleased to forward to you the link to the Russian Poetry Club's interpretation of Mandelstam's "We are living, but can't feel...': ua-cam.com/video/fKHeKWZLT5o/v-deo.html I hope you like this and that you enjoy the lectures I sent with my earlier reply. I'm not sure if at school you will have had lectures about Pushkin's treatment of statues in his most significant works! In a lecture about Lermontov I gave some years ago, I did provide a detailed description of the circumstances in which "The Death of the Poet" was written. I'd be very happy to send you the text of the lecture, but am not sure how to get this to you! Very best wishes, David
@@davidbrummell5393 actually we did study that at school! We had a really great Literature teacher and we studied Pushkin's biography and his works very thoroughly. Most of the his most important works we either analysed together or learnt by heart (some of them I still remember, despite speaking Russian less often and not revising poems for so long). Everything from classics like "Exegi monumentum" and "To ***" to such gems like "To Chaadayev" (which is my favourite BTW) and "I loved you". And I am not even talking about his prose works! I really loved literature back in school even though I tried to opose reading books back in the days. To be honest, I think I remember the whole story of Poet's Death pretty good to this day (we actually learned the whole poem by heart). By lecture I actually meant a somewhat of an analysis of this work, I really like hearing what other people see in these lines, especially from other countries and thus other perspectives.
A mere ‘thank you’ is too trite a comment but nevetheless I offer my appreciation for this wonderful lecture. May I sugges for further reading the sections viz Mandelstam: “The Complection of Russian Literature” a cento compiled by Andrew Field (1970). Publ. Atheneum. Miss jenny
