Raskatov dedicated the work to Irina Shostakovich, the widow of Dmitri Shostakovich, with whom he had a long-standing personal friendship: „How often did she recite poems to me on the telephone, including those by Mandelstam, by heart?\"\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe chosen texts range through extreme emotional registers: from the nightmarish Pomogi, gospo to the grotesquely distorted Scherzo Ni gomori nikomu to the almost mystical enlightenment in O, kak zhe ja hochu. The finale, Zhil Alexander Herzovich, is a simple song line – and at the same time a hasidic dance in which everything seems to disappear.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\nRaskatov's musical realisation demands the utmost virtuosity, vocal flexibility and breadth of expression from the dramatic soprano voice. The piano part also oscillates between motoric energy and fine-nerved transparency - a duo of radical intensity.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe premiere took place on June 29, 2024 as part of the Internationale Schostakowitsch Tage Gohrisch: with Elena Vassilieva (soprano) and Nathalia Milstein (piano).            \u003c\/p\u003e\n          \u003c\/div\u003e  \n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection id=\"content3\" class=\"tab-content\"\u003e\n          \u003cdiv id=\"c-product-table-table-of-content\" class=\"c-product-table\"\u003e\n            \u003cp class=\"c-product-table__text\"\u003eI.
