Interesting fact about Borodin. He was a fully qualified doctor and chemist. This piece was composed entirely in his free time. He worked on it for almost 18 years, but never managed to finish it.
He is the discoverer of the element Boron which is named after him He is immortal in the music world and in the world of science What a incredible man Sadly his wife didn’t appreciate him She distorted many of his musical manuscripts and so the world lost a quintuple of this great composers work
Ovo je moja omiljena kompozicija iz klasicne muzike.Prvi put sam je cuo u sedmom razredu na casu muzicke kulture i prosto mi se urezala u srcu.Svaki put kad je cujem dodje mi da zaplacem jer ovo zvuci zaista bozanstveno.
When I was little, my father would play this and tell me to close my eyes and imagine what was going on. I still think of pirates on angry seas, their ships crashing as they fought crowded battles on the shore while captured princesses called to be freed.
To one told me to close my eyes so I day dreamed with my eyes wide open, castle corridors. knights, monsters, magicians and kings preparing for an ancient battle..id see all and any fairy tale in the same place with that theme playing
when i hear this i think of nomadic oriental invaders ala the huns, the mongols and the timurids fortnite dancing and scaring the occidental Caucasoids
Piękne tańce połowieckie... Słyszę je przez całe życie... Jestem niezmiennie zachwycona wielką rosyjską kulturą bez względu na zawirowania polityczne. Pozdrowienia z Polski
Улетай на крыльях ветра Ты в край родной, родная песня наша, Туда, где мы тебя свободно пели, Где было так привольно нам с тобою. Там, под знойным небом, негой воздух полон, Где под говор моря дремлют горы в облаках. Там так ярко солнце светит, Родные горы светом заливая, В долинах пышно розы расцветают, И соловьи поют в лесах зелёных; И сладкий виноград растёт. Там тебе привольней, песня… Ты туда и улетай!
La plus belle mélodie du monde et de tous les temps, pour moi ! Et pourtant j'en connais et j'en aime des milliers ! Je ne sais pas ce qu'elle a de spécial !, C'est tout simplement divin !
Just listening to this piece, makes me go through loads emotions, and dreams of trips and other Eras. By the end of the song I am breathless, as I was singing and playing all along. Bravo bravo bravo!!
Улетай на крыльях ветра Ты в край родной, родная песня наша, Туда, где мы тебя свободно пели, Где было так привольно нам с тобою. Там, под знойным небом, Негой воздух полон, Там под говор моря Дремлют горы в облаках; Там так ярко солнце светит, Родные горы светом заливая, В долинах пышно розы расцветают, И соловьи поют в лесах зеленых, И сладкий виноград растет. Там тебе привольней, песня, Ты туда и улетай. Пойте песни славы хану! Пой! Славьте силу, дочесть хана! Славь! Славен хан! Хан! Славен он, хан наш! Блеском славы Солнцу равен хан! Нету равных славой хану! Нет! Чаги хана славят хана. Хана своего. Видишь ли пленниц ты С моря дальнего, Видишь красавиц моих Из-за Каспия? О, скажи, друг, Скажи только слово мне, Хочешь, любую из них я тебе подарю. Пойте песни славы хану! Пой! Славьте щедрость, славьте милость! Славь! Для врагов хан грозен, он, хан наш! Кто же славой равен хану, кто? Блеском славы солнцу равен он! Славой дедам равен хан наш. Хан, хан, Кончак! Славой дедам равен он! Грозный хан, хан Кончак. Славен хан, хан Кончак! Улетай на крыльях ветра Ты в край родной, Родная песня наша, Туда, где мы тебя свободно пели, Где было так привольно нам с тобою, В край тот, где под знойным небом Негой воздух полон. Где под говор моря Дремлют горы в облаках. Там так ярко солнце светит, Родные горы светом озаряя, В долинах пышно розы расцветают И соловьи поют в лесах зеленых, И сладкий виноград растет. Там тебе привольней, песня, Ты туда и улетай. Славой дедам равен хан наш, Хан, хан, Кончак! Славой дедам равен он, Грозный хан, хан Кончак! Славен хан, хан Кончак! Хан Кончак! Пляской вашей тешьте хана! Пляской тешьте хана, чаги, Хана своего. Пляской тешьте хана, чаги, Хана своего. Пляской вашей тешьте хана! Пляской тешьте! Наш хан Кончак!

I LOVE Russian classical music--its so fantastic--in the word sense--that it takes us to far off strange lands--places we've never been before (and would like to go). Colorful Russian works--like this one--invite us along for the ride--makes us feel like adventurous kids again. R. composers are all great orchestrators as well. One only wishes that Borodin had ditched his chemistry classes and done more composing--but he loved his students, too. Fabulous composer. Spacibo for the post!!
@@FockeWulfFW200 Despite the unfortunate circumstances that are happening now, music can never be taken away from its purest form. I still love Russian classical music.
@@checkmatedino9543 Well yes and no... Borodin wrote a big chunk of Prince Igor (including the Polovtsian Dances). Rimsky-Korsakov just finished the opera and edited it.
С возрастом начинаешь всё больше тяготеть к прекрасному. Этот небольшой отрывок ничего иное, как искусство. Вслушайтесь в эти чистые, благородные голоса. Эта музыка подобна музыке ангелов. Ну а исполнение просто безукоризненно. Мне 21, и я просто не могу наслушаться этой божественной музыкой.
this is such a surreal piece. it makes you feel as if you are in some magical imaginary land like Narnia or Oz, exploring the woods and having it all open up in front of you.
I love this piece, I really do. I'm not Russian, but even so, I feel a distinctive cultural beauty whenever I hear this. The Russians, Italians and Germans really did produce the greatest music of all time.
You may like Russian and German composers, I do too, but true music lovers like also Chopin, Vivaldi, Fauré, Debussy, Verdi , Puccini, Rameau, Katchaturian, Haendel, Mendelssohn, Grieg, Dvorak, Berlioz, Ravel, Paganini, Liszt, Brahms, Rossini, Delibes, Elgar, Albeniz, Smetana etc... None of them are Russian or German, but all of them achieved quite as essential masterpieces.
A lot of my childhood memories are framed by Borodin's music. I am really thankful to my parents and Borodin for introducing me to this wonderful world of harmony and beauty.
Almost every working morning I listen to this when I go to college around 6 o'clock. I am studying chemistry, such as Borodin liked to do it. My name is Igor. Скоро свако јутро слушам ово дјело када одлазим на факултет око 6. Студирам хемију, као што је и Бородин волио исту. Моје име је Игор.
@@bennus2900he meens, that communsits stopped the Golden era of Russian culture and not only culture. And they've stopped it in most brutal way. They had developed their own though quite interesting one, but there is not going to be more Tchaikovsky's
Hace muchos años ya encontre una colección de discos de MUSICA CLÁSICA los oi todos uno por uno y ahi estaba esta OBRA MAESTRA, nunca mas salieron de mis oidos....
When I was a child, I became aware of a set of records in my home. They were wrapped in strangely printed brown paper sleeves and the labels on the discs themselves proclaimed 'Furst Igor' plus several lines of Cyrilic characters. As far as I can ascertain, they were Soviet recordings of Prince Igor that Dad had purchased somewhere over there or possibly in East Germany. I loved the music and his reluctance to answer my questions only added to the mystique of the music. Borodin is wonderful. I still have the discs.
+Nick Wyatt When I was a teenager, I heard a very beautiful music in a Videogames called Heroes of Might and Magic 2. I found it to be the most enchanting music I had ever heard. I wanted to find where it comes from but I didn't know from where it came. Finally if I discovered about ten years later that it was Polotvian Dance from Borodine's Prince Igor. Not so romantic as you I admit :-)
+GarlicReturns I must thank c64 and coin'op for most of the "classical" tunes I know today. I do remember "In the Hall of the Mountain King", from the videogame "Mountain king" on the Commodore 64. And "Ride of the Valkyries", from "Black hawk". What about "Fugue" on Gyruss?? I learnt a lot from videogames, and developed my passion for music aswell.
you want to have a date with this composition ? You're dreaming about having sex with this ? Does your face get red and do you feel embarrassed when you're listening to it ? So then YES you're in love with it.
I love this music, 10 years or so ago, I just had to have it, so I saved up and bought the Prince Igor Opera on CD 5 discs, it cost me 50 dollars, but I wanted it so bad,,I still listen to it,such moving music.
Desire to hear this brought me here, lovely. My first introduction was over sixty years ago and I still long to hear it from time to time. From the number of listeners shown and responders liking it, one would have to say the response has been favorable.
No olvidemos que esta hermosa música la compuso un gran químico. La música era su afición, el vivia de la química, algunos de sus procedimientos aun se dan en las facultades de química del mundo entero.
I don't know why anyone would want just the orchestrated version of this piece. The choir practically makes it and structures it. Just wouldn't be the same without it. This is one piece that I would love to do in choir.
Улетай на крыльях ветра Ты в край родной, родная песня наша, Туда, где мы тебя свободно пели, Где было так привольно нам с тобою. Там так ярко солнце светит, Родные горы светом заливая, В долинах пышно розы расцветают, И соловьи поют в лесах зеленых.
Since no-one else posted this, this is the Polovtsian Dances. Prince Igor is just the name of the opera. Please thumbs-up me so this goes to the top so everyone wondering the name of the piece can know it
+Death to Imperialism, freedom to the people They're the most dramatic and the music is often terrifying; but in an exciting way. They tell the truth about life.
This part is named Polovtsian Dances and is the last piece of Act 2 of the 4-act opera Prince Igor (Prince: 'Knez'/ 'Kniaz'). An adaption of this piece is used in the (american) musical Kismet in '53
Julian Tepper Ok thx! I recognised this piece while zapping and bumping in a classical concert on TV, because I happen to have a version of (UK) singer Sarah Brightman ("Stranger in Paradise") . Thx to an outstanding booklet that comes with the CD I could track it back. Comment to ALL who want to claim a certain origin / nationalism about this or other pieces: musical is universal and has no boundries. Check f.i. Peter Gabriel's album "Passion" or Yo-Yo Ma "Silk roads". Music can bring peace if you truly listen. O, and Sarah Brightman's album Fata Morgana off course.
I heard this more than 10 years ago and I could never remember or find someone who could recognize the tune. It would and still does play in my head sometimes. Today: thanks to youtube I found this beauty by accident. Upvoted and favourited. Thank you RustamUniverse2, this is great.
Damn it why is Russian classical music so good!? Such a distinct sound of its own that easily equals the best output from Western Europe (although Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner, et al. still reign supreme IMO).
