Pivotal Genius in Opera as a whole and russian classical music

Not your mother's Glinka
Stay away! This is a collection of Russian dances, with nothing of the lyrical beauty of many of Glinka's works. If, however, you fancy jaunty music and Russian jigs, give this a listen.

Pivotal Genius in Opera as a whole and russian classical music, January 31, 2009
This review is from: Mikhail Glinka: Complete Piano Music, Vol. 3 (Audio CD)
From the composer who embodied the precepts of what later became the grand tradition of russian classical music, the ingenious Opera theoretician who envisioned Opera as a dramatic socio-cultural organism and prepondered the concepts of the recurring dramatical themes which were later used and gave inspiration to German opera and to the development of the Wagnerian 'leitmotif' -- as well as Russian opera of the 19th century through the likes of Mussorgsky, Borodin, Korsakov, Serov, Rubinstein, Dargomyzhsky, Balakirev, Taneyev, Tchaikovsky, Arensky etc...cementing a unique cultural phenomenon in Russian Opera history like no other in the world.
