Title: Indispensible Guide to Tchaikovsky's Song
Review: This book is a godsend to English speakers who wish to perform Tchaikovsky's songs. It gives useful background to each and every song and provides transliterations that are idiomatically accurate, without the literal schoolboy howlers that one finds on some other sites. The translations are very well done. The texts in both languages are very clear and anyone wishing to perform any song can immediately feel the spirit of the poet and decide whether the song is suitable for him or her. A considerable bonus is the listing of all who have recorded each song, for this enables those interested to establish easily whether the song is appropriate for a male singer, or a female singer, or both. The only fault is that the Russian headings at the top of each song are in modified cursive script, which is, of course, rather different from printed script and is somewhat confusing for the letters "t" and "ee". This is a superb book and I wish that I had had it years ago.
