This album is Volume II of the "Vysotsky in English" project. Vladimir Vysotsky (1938-1980) was Russia's greatest singer / songwriter / poet of the 20th Century. Until recently, his popularity was limited to Russia and Russian speakers . I, Vadim Astrakhan, have made it my life’s ambition to integrate his creations into the world culture, by means of • translating his songs into English • performing them in a modern musical manner The "Two Fates" album was produced by an acclaimed composer / guitarist Yuri Naumov and came out in 2012. If you are interested in powerful poetry and inspirational music, you will undoubtedly find this project interesting.
