I don’t think it was a sin. Because it didn’t feel like a sin. It felt like I’m supposed to feel.

Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka is a 1961 fairy tale fantasy Soviet film directed by Alexander Rou. It is based on Nikolai Gogol’s collection of short stories of the same name (specifically based on the short story The Night Before Christmas). In a small Ukrainian village, a young blacksmith, Vakula, is in love with the village beauty, Oksana. Oksana is a capricious girl who states that she will only marry Vakula if he brings her the slippers that Empress Catherine the Great wears. At the same the Devil aims to get back at Vakula for painting an embarassing picture of him. The Devil steals the moon, in the hopes of creating chaos and visiting Vakula’s witch mother. Vakula, however, tricks the Devil into taking him to Saint-Petersburg. [watch]

What are your favourite pieces of classical music?

 I don’t have the slightest musical education so my apologies for the possible abuse of the term “classical” but lately I’ve grown a special affection for the following pieces:

Bach-Capriccio on the departure of a beloved brother- (the way it starts as a grave farewell and then becomes light reminds me of Catullus 65) Cello Suite No.1 and Concertos for Oboe

Corelli- La Follia (or Vivaldi’s version, if I’m feeling extra extra)

Monteverdi- Zefiro Torna, Lamento della Ninfa and many of his madrigals

Jean Baptiste Lully- Armide

Franz Schubert- Serenade, Fantasy in F Minor

Frédéric Chopin- Nocturne, Funeral March, La Polonaise (reminds me of dziady!)

 Felix Mendelssohn- Midsummer Night’s Dream

 Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky- Rococo Variation, Pas de deux from the Nutcracker

I’m in love with the Impressionists: Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin was the first work to make me interested in classical music, and I also love Jeux d’eau, Daphnis et Chloe, Introduction and Allegro, String Quartet- Assez Vif

Claude Debussy: Suite Bergamasque

Erik Satie:  Gymnopédies and Gnossiennes (for cloudy Sunday mornings)
