You may be interested, if you&#x27;re not familiar, with The Retuses, a Moscow-area band that has used Esenin&#x27;s poems as the basis for several songs. Unfortunately, they were never recorded as part of an album, but many recordings are present on Youtube. Some are better than others, and the recording for Письмо к женщине is particularly well done: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=UYgcUfMXJLw&amp;t=2m30s" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=UYgcUfMXJLw&amp;t=2m30s</a><p>Шаганэ: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=t8NYyVB_QyI" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=t8NYyVB_QyI</a>
Though I like this cover of it more: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=TEN3Zugtqgs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=TEN3Zugtqgs</a><p>Пой же, пой. На проклятой гитаре: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ME_Kxc9VlFw" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ME_Kxc9VlFw</a> though I&#x27;ve sadly never found a better recording.
