Dear all, I know Polina a little. She is an an outstanding singer, and her ethnomusicological research sounds very interesting indeed. Her two ensembles have received great acclaim in Berlin, where Polina lived until recently. I cannot recommend this too highly. All the best, Robert Begin forwarded message: > From: Polina Proutskova <[log in to unmask]> > Date: 26 October 2011 16:39:09 GMT+01:00 > To: Polina Proutskova <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: 29 Nov at Pushkin House: Traditional Russian Songs - lecture and concert by Polina Prouskova > > > > Traditional Russian Songs - lecture and concert by Polina Proutskova > > > Russia was once a landscape of manifold and lively local musical traditions, mostly extinct today.
