Eugene Onegin

The young St. Petersburg resident Eugene Onegin is bored. In search of distraction, he tries his hand as a landowner in the countryside and encounters the Larin family there. While the older daughter Tatiana soon develops deep feelings for the cynical idler, he demonstratively turns his attention to her younger sister Olga. A move with fatal consequences: consumed by jealousy, Olga's fiancé challenges Onegin to a duel. In his verse novel, Pushkin paints a razor-sharp picture of Russia in his time. The irony and depth of Pushkin's masterpiece are excellently brought to life by Volker Risch in his interpretation. Unabridged reading with Volker Risch, 1 mp3-CD, approximately 4 hours and 22 minutes.
