Sviridov - Hymns to the Fatherland 3 Sadness of Immense Spaces

Georgy Sviridov (1915-98) The Ural Choir Choirmaster Vladislav Novik Lyrics by Feodor Sologub (1863-927) I love the sadness of your immensities, my beloved country, my holy Russia, And I feel neither fear nor shame at the doleful verdicts [of destiny. All your ways are dear to me, and even if a senseless path Threatens me with darkness and sepulchral cold, I shall not forsake it. I do not seek to exorcise the spirit of evil, but I repeat, Like a prayer learned by heart, these four words: “What immensity! What sadness!“ Георгий Свиридов (1915-98) стихи Фёдора Сологуба цикл “Гимны Родине“ Уральский камерный хор Дирижер Владислав Новик
