Borodin is one of my favorites. He has this Asian quality about him. As an Amateur, meaning only that he did not get paid for it, I’d put him up at the top with Tchaikovsky. Franz Liszt certainly did.
Borodin is unfairly underrated but played a key role in defining Russian music as a distinctive genre in the nineteenth century. Always fresh and reflective of nature and romance.
ou are right, of course, but we can go a step further. The way how he turned Russian inspiration into music is a musicological issue in itself, an overarching Lesson in composition.
The Dresden Philharmonic certainly does this work proud. Some comments favor this work over his better known second symphony. It's far more complex, has way more rhythmic flourishes and very colorful orchestration. Borodin is hugely underrated. Best
@@paulbrennan5646 Boris Kustodiev's (Russian: Борис Михайлович Кустодиев) Maslenitsa (Russian: Масленица) is a beautiful painting that celebrates Russia's traditional "butter week" - the equivalent of Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Tuesday in the West.
@@olgahavkin1316 Dear Olga: Thank you for explaining this painting to me. I just couldn't see any pancakes anywhere in the picture, but I understand now. Still a beautiful symphony. Greetings from Canada.
As I have said in other comments, I cannot stop these ads. The companies who hold the rights of the recordings are the ones who decide to put ads or not, not me, since my channel is not monetized thus I get no revenue from these videos.
Perché l'errore il pubblico snob esiste solo Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Mahler...Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Mahler....oltre che snob assolutamente ignorante.
@@fabriziogarzi9892non è il pubblico snob , é il semplice fatto che i compositori che ha citato riempiono le sale da concerto e fanno guadagnare le istituzioni musicali
@@lorenzocassani8169 , per dire non ho mai ascoltato un concerto per pianoforte di Sigmund Thalberg...una sinfonia di un qualche autore russo tardo romantico...Le Stagioni di Glazuniv...per dire...
Riorchestrata postuma da altro collega..per cosa ? : violoncelli in luogo dei corni.. Una prassi di cui è stata purtroppo piena la storia della musica e come in questo caso per me assolutamente inaccettabile . Ottima la prestazione e la registrazione. Gran bell'inserimento. .
