Anna Zassimova: Defying Destiny

Anna Zassimova

Anna Zassimova invites us to embark on a third journey through the fateful Russian musical landscape. This journey through the peculiar Russian ouroboros of the tormented twentieth century allows us once again to discover rare works and the unknown environments in which they were created. All these works are parables of implacable destinies against which it seems hopeless to fight, but which must be defied in order to follow the veiled path of the soul.
