Musorgsky and His Circle - A Russian Musical Adventure (Hardcover, Main)

The extraordinary group of Russian composers who came together in
St Petersburg in the 1860s - long known as 'The Mighty Handful',
but, as the moguchaya kuchka, better translated as 'the great
little heap' - gave rise to one of the most fascinating and
colourful stories in all musical history. Stephen Walsh, author of
a major biography of their direct successor, Stravinsky, has
written an absorbing account of Musorgsky and his circle - Borodin,
Cui, Balakirev and Rimsky-Korsakov. With little or no musical
education they created works of lasting significance - Musorgsky's
Boris Godunov, Borodin's Prince Igor and Rimsky-Korsakov's
Sheherazade. Written with deep understanding and panache, The
Kuchka, is highly engaging and a significant contribution to
cultural history.
