Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) was a prolific composer of
orchestral works and many other forms of music, including chamber
works and art songs. He also wrote many operas, excerpts from which
are featured in this collection.
Contents include the famous orchestral interlude "The Flight of the
Bumblebee" as well as the suite from "The Tale of Tsar Saltan."
This fanciful opera was based on Aleksandr Pushkin's poem, "The
Tale of Tsar Saltan, of His Son the Renowned and Mighty Bogatyr
Prince Gvidon Saltanovich and of the Beautiful Princess-Swan."
Additional selections include the suite from another work inspired
by Pushkin's poetry, " The Golden Cockerel," a controversial satire
of the disastrous effects of the tsarist regime. Nikolai Gogol's
"Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka" served as the basis for"
Christmas Eve," a tale of magical doings on Christmas Eve. The
final suite is from "Dubinushka," Op. 62, a work rooted in a song
the composer overheard protesters singing during the 1905
revolution. Musicians and music lovers will appreciate this
inexpensive collection of popular works, all reproduced from
authoritative sources.

Bela�eff, 1902 Operas; Orchestral music, Arranged
Rimsky-Korsakov's second excursion into the symphonic form came
early in his career (1869) but underwent two major revisions, in
1875 and 1897. The second version of 1875 was modified in 1903 due
to his publisher Bessel's refusal to engrave the new plates
required for the final version of 1897. This 1875/1903 revision
became the most popular version for many decades, as the final
version of 1897 did not appear in print until nearly a decade after
the composer's death. This colorful, exotic symphony - later termed
a "symphonic suite" by its composer, is easily the best known of
the three composed by the great Russian master of orchestral
writing . The study score offered here is a digitally-enhanced
reprint of the one issued around 1947 by the Soviet State
publishing house, Muzgiz.
Borodin started composing his first excursion into the symphonic
form in 1862, while studying with Mily Balakirev. He worked on it
sporadically for the next five years, making revisions in the wake
of an informal orchestral reading in 1867. The official premiere,
at a concert of the Russian Musical Society on 23 December 1868
conducted by his tutor Balakirev, successfully established Borodin
as a major force in Russian orchestral music. The score presented
here is a digitally-enhanced reprint of the one issued ca.1946 by
the Soviet State Publisher Muzgiz, itself a re-engraving of the
score edited by Rimsky-Korsakov and Glazunov which was published by
V. Bessel after the composer's death in 1887.
