Free Music Review: A good introduction to Borodin's orchestral works
Hit: 5 Stars
Alexander Borodin was, of course, a chemist. And he only had a chance to compose in his spare time. Still, he was a fine symphonist. Others may remind us that Borodin was one of "The Five" great Russian nineteenth-century composers (Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin, Balakirev, and Cui). I prefer to think of Borodin as member of a more exalted group, namely the ten great nineteenth-century European symphonists (Beethoven, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Berlioz, Borodin, and Berwald).
This CD has a fine selection of Borodin's works: his impressive second symphony, the well-known "In the Steppes of Central Asia," and orchestral excerpts from "Prince Igor," including the famous Polovtsian Dances. The works are very well performed, and I certainly recommend this disc.
