    • Summary:As in the Tchaikovsky edition, this volume includes the Russian texts to the complete 82 songs of Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninov, including IPA transcriptions with literal and idiomatic English translations. Professor Richter views the publication of these books not only as the fulfillment of an ambition of many years, but also as the filling of a genuine need. Current standards of Russian diction among Western singers leave much to be desired, which is attributable in part to the inconsistent transliterations traditionally used in the publication of Russian vocal music, providing at best a crude approximation of Russian speech sounds. A correct, exact transcription for representing sung Russian to non-Russian singers has long been sorely needed. - Publisher.

    • Contents:At the gate of the holy abode
      I will tell you nothing
      Again you leapt, my heart
      C'eĢtait en avril
      Twilight has fallen
      Song of the disillusioned
      The flower has faded
      Do you remember the evening
      Were you hiccuping?
      Oh no, I beg you, forsake me not
      Morning
      In the silence of the secret night
      Sing not to me, beautiful maiden
      Oh you, my field
      How long, my friend
      The water lily
      Child, you are as beautiful as a flower
      Brooding
      I have grown fond of sorrow
      The dream
      Prayer
      I wait for you
      The isle
      For long there has been little consolatio in love
      I was with her
      These summer nights
      How everyone loves you
      Believe me not, friend
      Oh, do not grieve
      She is as lovely as the noon
      In my soul
      Spring torrents
      It is time!
      Fate : on Beethoven's Fifth symphony
      By the fresh grave
      Twilight
      They answered
      Lilacs
      Fragment from De Musset
      How fair this spot
      On the death of a linnet
      Melody
      Before the icon
      No prophet, I
      How painful for me
      Night
      There are many sounds
      He took everything from me
      Let us rest
      Two partings
      Beloved, let us fly
      Christ is risen!
      To the children
      I beg for mercy
      Again I am alone
      Before my window
      The fountain Night is mournful
      When yesterday we met
      The ring
      All things pass
      Letter to K.S. Stanislavsky from S. Rachmaninov
      The muse
      In the soul of each of us
      The storm
      The migrant wind
      Arion
      The raising of Lazarus
      It cannot be
      Music
      You knew him
      I remember that day
      The peasant
      What happiness
      Discord
      From the Gospel of St. John, XV.13
      In my garden at night
      To her
      Daisies
      The rat-catcher
      The dream
      A-u!
