Here are some comments from the album notes by Maya Pritsker:

This disc presents an almost chronological, though far from exhaustive, survey of songs written by Russian composers of the 19th and 20th centuries on Alexander Pushkin’s verses.

Pushkin’s poetry, with its fleeting rhythms, unique musicality, picturesque scenes, emotional complexity and, most importantly, its perfect pitch for the Russian spoken language, was an ideal source for the Russian romance (the Russian equivalent of the German Lied). It is impossible to find a Russian composer who has not set Pushkin’s poems to music. Some of these poems inspired numerous musical interpretations.

Pushkin’s gracious, beautifully (and seemingly effortlessly) crafted and deeply human verses became imprinted in the memory and minds of millions of Russians, in many ways forming the consciousness and the soul of the nation.
