Recordings of Russian poetry?

[Alyssa W Dinega]

At another SEELANGer's request, here is a summary of the suggestions I
received for locating recordings of Russian poetry:

Benjamin Rifkin's textbook, Grammatka v kontekste, has at least one poem in
each of its 25 chapters.  The publisher (McGraw-Hill) has a "poetry tape"
with recitations of the poems by native speakers of Russian.

Online sources for Russian books on tape might be found at:
http://www.slavophilia.net/russia/book.htm
http://eleaston.com/books/index.html#russian

Also, the latest Kamkin catalogue had several poetry cassettes listed.

Online recordings of Russian poetry can be found at the following websites:
Brodsky:  http://www.poets.org/LIT/poet/jbrodfst.htm
Nabokov reading Pushkin and Tiutchev:
http://www.libraries.psu.edu/iasweb/nabokov/zembla.htm (under "About
Nabokov" with a link in the "Works section)
Pushkin: http://www.radiomayak.ru/pushkin/
A small selection of glossed Russian poetry, using Quicktime Player:
http://lang.swarthmore.edu/faculty/jowen/owen.htm (link to "Glossed poems
with sound recordings")

In addition, two projects in process:
Genevra Gerhart writes of a new textbook on Russian common knowledge about
high culture,
with poetry the longest chapter and all longish citations read in Russian
on accompanying CD. Slavica will put it out but no earlier than next fall.

And: Michael Denner at Northwestern is in the process of creating a website
that will contain the classic Melodia recordings, but the site probably
will not be available for about a year.

Hope this information is useful to anyone with a similar interest!
