There are Melodiya records called "Golosa, zazvuchavshie vnov'" with
the sort of recordings you are looking for; I have one myself with
the voices of Mandel'shtam (reading "Ya po lesenke pristavnoy") and
Yesenin, and others (Lev Tolstoy, Mayakovski, Pasternak, Bagritski
a.o.). I also have a record of Anna Akhmatova reading her own poetry.
I think you should be able to trace these records. I could check the
exact numbers of mine, if you wish.
Yours
