about

Words: William Butler Yeats
Tune: Joseph Sobol (from In the Deep Heart’s Core: A Mystic Cabaret)

The story of a jester, possessed by a consuming love for a queen – who is hardly aware of his existence – struck me partly because mirrors a Russian classic, The Garnet Bracelet by Alexander Kuprin. The short novel is based on a true “sad story of a minor telegraph clerk named P.P. Zheltikov who so hopelessly, touchingly and selflessly fell in love with Lyubimov's wife (D.D. is now a Vilno governor)”, as the writer himself summarised it in a letter to a friend. Is this a perfect example of “a true love that happens once in a thousand years”? A love so chaste that flesh is only an obstacle, a prison for the heart and the soul. As a romantic young girl, did I ever dream to be the object of such adoration? Or is this all-consuming love a curse to both the admirer and the admired?

Daria Kulesh Kings Langley, UK

Described by Mike Harding as “one of the finest voices and one of the most intriguing and interesting songwriters”, Daria Kulesh has toured extensively, leaving her audiences "completely spellbound". Born in Russia but UK-based for 15 years, she fearlessly explores her roots and family history in Ingushetia (North Caucasus) with songs that "aren't just sung, but lived".
