Sadko -phew what a scorcher!,
By A Customer
This review is from: CRIT STUDY RIMSKY-KORSAKOV (Outstanding Dissertations in Music from British Universities) (Hardcover)
I thought Rimsky was a boring old Russian with a big beard till I read this. This is certainly the most excting volume on a composer since Robert Craft interviewed Stravinsky (one of Rimsky's pupils, after all). It takes a composer previously known only for a colourful oriental fantasy and opens up a whole world of Slavonic exuberance and melancholy such as had only previously been associated with Tchaikovsky.Anyway, I thought it was a bloody good read and I'm now going to search the catalogues for recordings of obscure Russian operas and songs - I can't get enough of them! |
