College Symphony Orchestra Consolidated Choir of the Children's Music School Head Zoya GROSHENKOVA Conductor - Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Vladimir RYZHAEV
Glinka, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev and Shostakovich look at them from heaven and cry with happiness... Russian classical music will live forever...
Как смешно, что русские стараются сообщать свои хорошие мысли здесь в комментариях -- на нерусском языке. Стесняетесь своего русского языка, который на десять голов выше любого другого языка современных государств.
Superb... It’s been 55 years that I listen to this sublime score of Borodin, and the chance to have seen him heard and danced by the Kirov, what happiness, these young people are the unfailing next generation of great and beautiful Russian culture. Thanks to them.
I first heard this at a Prom concert about 70 years ago, the start of my lifelong love of Russian music, and admiration for Alexander Borodin, full time professor of medical chemistry and part time composer.
Yes, it is amazing to think that this wonderful piece (and many others) was composed by a professional chemist who wrote music as a HOBBY! What a gift he had!
Polovtsian Dances was a great discovery made by me at 5 years old , time I lived beside my Phillips stereo console among piles of vynils. I heard it "millions" of times , I could never get enough of this inspiring Borodin's work.
Wow! I as well, at about the same age also but it was on an RCA tube console with great bass response that made me really feel the music. I listened to this countless times from a now long out of print 33 vinyl called Music from the Far East.
Same here, caused a great impression on me when I was about 8 , was lucky to have musical older brothers with vinyl records. This piece was one of the most engaging and that made me love classical music forever.
A popular song of the 1950s "Stranger in Paradise" from the musical Kismet (1953), is credited to Robert Wright and George Forrest, but the melody is adapted from this music composed by Alexander Borodin (1833-1887). It is called, in English, the "Gliding Dance of the Maidens", from the opera Prince Igor (1890). The children singing it here and the mostly young people in the orchestra, brought me to tears ...

They were able to copy Borodin because he had long passed away and it was out of copyright. Dishonourable that they didn't acknowledge their debt to Borodin, this would not have cost anything but would be good manners.
@@beowulf1312 What do you mean, they didn't acknowledge their debt to Borodin??? I'm looking at the cover of the original cast album (starring Alfred Drake), and it clearly credits Borodin above Wright and Forrest. Verbatim, it reads: "With Music from Alexander Borodin, Musical Adaptation and Lyrics by Robert Wright and George Forrest." And so far as I know, they always gave credit to Borodin for the original music, just as they openly gave credit to Edvard Grieg for the music they adapted for the musical, "Song of Norway." The only dishonorable thing I see here is your unjustified slander. In future, I recommend you check your facts before attacking people who are not alive to defend themselves. This would not cost you anything but would be good manners!
Musique fantastique. Et de wualuté, quoique tournentée et cettainnement assez difficile pour des musiciens chevronnés , encore plus pour des jeunes chanteurs lyriques....mrci à tous et bravo!!!!
@@OldManReadsPoetry-yc6ztunfortunately there are too many examples of American pop “adaptations” of Russian music, especially songs. The 2 most famous are “Ochi chiornie” ( Очи чёрные) and “Ехали на тройке с бубенцами”, with completely new lyrics, not even remotely close to originals. Even Charles Aznavour changed lyrics of “Эх раз, ещё раз…” Tchaikovsky’s music has been mutilated by Hollywood too many times to mention. And very famous Glinka waltz was attributed to someone else. I could continue, but hopefully, you get my point.
I am mesmerized. amazed and... absolutely captivated by these children, who have proved to be as fantastic and competent as... excellent adult singers! Please also note that the great orchestra here has a number of young players!
What a beautiful performance by a wonderful group of young human beings! There is still hope for mankind...I think. As long as we are in the hands of people like them!
What a performance! I'm in love with these kids and these young musicians. May Russia be blessed for having offered the world so much beauty, emotion and talent.
Good afternoon ! Splendid ! Extremelly BEAUTIFUL ! Only Angels voices to produce such sound ! Heavenly ! Congratulations for this master piece ! 👏👏👏⭐⭐⭐
It's leaders that destroy countries and their image around the world. Russia has very rich culture. It's a shame they have a madman like Trump in power.
Greetings from South Texas! It's amazing to see young people performing with such high quality. In our part of the USA, classical music has been done away with. Music here is only to make noise for sporting events and border music. Children in elementary school are mostly taught one instrument--percussion.
Two times in my life I was tempted to learn Russian: the first was when I had a huge crush on a girl from Nizhny Novgorod in my international exchange year. The second was when I listened to the Polovtsian Dances for the first time.
These children are so talented. I have seen adult symphonic orchestras give it barley enough justice but these children would make Borodin simply proud.... I can't believe no stand up ovation.
Great civilization is no doubting, the one which occupies his children in such complex art, at such tender ages… We can’t ask for more perfection, can we? My best congratulations to you all.
Absolutely beautiful... wonderful, sublime performance, thank you for posting this video, a delight from start to finish, marvellous young people ✨👏🌟👏💖superb performance 👏👏👏✨
when i was young in the 60s we had a school orchestra and choir in a sec mod school , sadlyi dont think the young today have that , adore this video this was first piece of classical music i ever fell in love with at 8yrs old
The emotional involvement of some of these young singers is mesmerizing. They obviously feel the power of the piece and, I suppose, sense the Russian soul that permeates the music. Astounding !
That's so true! It is refreshing to see such feeling and expression. One can easily see the same expressivity in the instrumentalists as well! Both conductors deserve a lot of credit for inspiring their students.
Из северной Миннесоты: просто великолепно! Этот замечательный детский хор и оркестр просто невероятные! Каждый из них в полной мере использует свои удивительные способности. Мои самые искренние комплименты и поздравления каждому из них, и их инструкторам и проводникам, и их родителям!
To to see those young children give of their best was great to see, they were so driven and totally immersed in their music making, unselfconscious and engaged, well done and thank you.
An amazing performance! By children no less! One of my (many) favorites. This particular version is one of the best I have ever heard. From Michigan, USA.
When I taught upper elementary math 50 years ago, I used to play recordings of my classical favorites. Many kids picked up on it and developed an enthusiasm for such fine music. This YT selection is off the charts! I'm sure it could leave a beautiful lasting impression on any young people fortunate enough to experience it.
Превосходный Вот уже 55 лет я слушаю эту возвышенную партитуру Бородина, и возможность увидеть, как его слышит и танцует Киров, какое счастье, эти молодые люди - это неизменное следующее поколение великой и прекрасной русской культуры. Благодаря им.
Un grand merci pour cette chorale. Cette musique cette chorale nous vient du paradis. Elle est pure et cristalline comme l.ame russe. Merci a l.orchestre merci aux choralistes qui nous ont fait passer un moment angelique. Gloire au peuple russe
Absolutely wonderful. What beautiful young people. Their parents must be so proud. It's amazing to think that all that beauty was produced by a group of people who didn't even exist 30 years ago - inside a room built by people who left this planet many generations ago. So on it goes ... 🦘
Quel travail, quelle passion et quel splendide résultat. Bravo à toutes et tous. Puisse cette vidéo inspirer les pays occidentaux pour renouer avec l'excellence et un vrai travail d'art. Salutations et bises de France
Les pays occidentaux ne méritent pas les trésors puisse qu'ils cherche a envahir la Russie, la Chine, Iran et Israele qui a commencé cette guerre dans l'Ukraine
This is creation. So amazing. Beautiful. Inspiring. Why, why can we not spend our time in creation to enhance the world and every living thing on her? Please? Humanity? Let's be creative (and leave the other meaningless pursuits behind).
¡Que orgullo para los padres de todos en los coros y la orquesta y para Rusia! No solo es talento, es espíritu y fuerza De Dios. La primer violín es extraordinaria; el chico de la pandereta es sobresaliente; la chica de los timbales inmejorable y apasionada; la orquesta entera es de nivel superlativo. Reflejan el don divino, Dios les guarde y proteja.
Larga vida a la madre Rusia. Ojalá Europa occidental mirase hacia Rusia en vez de hacia los EEUU. Como buenos anglos siempre buscando como hundir a los demas para sacar ellos la cabeza..
¡Extraordinario! La maestra del coro es un amor y ha logrado un conjunto de voces de primera calidad, altamente motivadas y entregadas al trabajo muy bien hecho y con pasión y buen gusto. Los niños son un orgullo para sus padres, directores y escuela: cantan con pasión y gusto y sin tener un papel al frente que les guíe; Dios les depare a todos un gran porvenir en su amada Rusia. La orquesta es fuera de serie, gran Director, la primer violín es sobresaliente; timbales y panderetas con disciplina, entrega y pasión. Para todos : que la Providencia siga derramando abundantes bendiciones a cada uno y a Rusia.
Eccezionali Tutti. Coro dei bambini, orchestra, e anche la ripresa video, fanno entrare nella magica atmosfera del Principe Igor e le Danze Polovesiane.
