2025 Chamber Suite, Zolotaryov - accordion

Chamber Suite Vladislav Zolotaryov, Russia 1942-1975 i) Evening Prelude The evening shades have yet to sink, But moonlight’s shining in the lake. The heart, the soul – and everything Feels superstitious and opaque. ii) Moonlight streams through the windows Moonlight streams through the windows, Like a silvery river, Stars shine in the clear sky, Above the darkening river. iii) Snowfall at night In the night snow whirls over the earth Transparent light is streaming through the windows And white stars, circling and tinkling Sing sad songs for me…. iv) Mysterious visions Open the door – There is twinkling, And through a narrow window – Vision I don’t know – and I will not hide ignorance But I will sleep – and dreams will flow. v) Sorrowful dreams Around the deep gloom. I’m crying I called my family dreams… vi) An old fairytale I know not if there is a reason Why i am so sad at heart A legend of bygone ages Haunts me and will not depart.
