The Late Now March Music Moderne Special won’t be all...

daedaleo — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 11:46:00 -0800

The Late Now March Music Moderne Special won’t be all music. Inspired, indirectly, by the performances of all 15 of Shostakovich’s string quartets by the Jerusalem Quartet beginning the day after our show, we’ve invited poets David Abel and A. Molotkov to read some Russian poetry of the early 20th century, in English and Russian, respectively.

On the program is Osip Mandelstam (1891-1938), the great Acmeist poet and essayist who perished under Stalin, in a SIberian transit camp.

For your advance delectation, have a listen to this recording (click play above) of Mandelstam reading his own 1924 poem, Нет, никогда ничей я не был современник… (No, I was never anyone’s contemporary…).

Then, come see our poets reading his work live & bilingually on Saturday night, along with an energetic program of lively new musicians from Portland and beyond, at our March Music Moderne Special (March 9, 2013).

Нет, никогда, ничей я не был современник,
Мне не с руки почет такой.
О, как противен мне какой-то соименник,
То был не я, то был другой.

Два сонных яблока у века-властелина
И глиняный прекрасный рот,
Но к млеющей руке стареющего сына
Он, умирая, припадет.

Я с веком поднимал болезненные веки —
Два сонных яблока больших,
И мне гремучие рассказывали реки
Ход воспаленных тяжб людских.

Сто лет тому назад подушками белела
Складная легкая постель,
И странно вытянулось глиняное тело,—
Кончался века первый хмель.

Среди скрипучего похода мирового —
Какая легкая кровать!
Ну что же, если нам не выковать другого,
Давайте с веком вековать.

И в жаркой комнате, в кибитке и в палатке
Век умирает,— а потом
Два сонных яблока на роговой облатке
Сияют перистым огнем.
