A warm message from Alexander Korotko’s friend, the renowned violinist from Israel Alexander Povolotsky, who shared his impressions of the poem “STUS” read by Ada Rohovtseva.
“Sasha, this is simply incredible! This is not only a work of art — it is also another damning record of an era in which millions of people lived. As I listened, I wondered: why is it “What for?..” for some, and “By what right?!” for others?
Rohovtseva reads beautifully. Her restrained delivery blends so naturally with the portrayal of the protagonist’s life. I also noticed her pacing and rhythm. The rhythm brings out the musicality of the verse and highlights your distinctive voice. You read the diary beautifully.
Once again, my heartfelt congratulations, with warmest wishes for good health, success, and peaceful skies! A hug to you.”
