ERSO: Odessa Classics Tallinn / Alexey Botvinov ja Mihhail Shishkin

Alexey Botvinov (Piano)
Mikhail Shishkin (Writer)

We invite you to the Musical and Literary evening "Rachmaninoff. At first, death, then life".
Word and music, writer and pianist. This is a declaration of love to the great composer. Mikhail Shishkin will read essays about Rachmaninoff, and Alexey Botvinov will perform his music.

Rachmaninoff left Russia in 1917, and the historical parallels with modern Russia that emerge from his memoirs and letters are incredibly relevant today. His music was full of light. It was his fight, and he won. It could not be otherwise, because he opposed to the forces that bring death his music that brings life - admiration for the beauty of the world, joy, sadness, faith, love.

The secret of Rachmaninoff's music is that it is a victory over death: listening to it, we ourselves become immortal.
