Polovtsian Dances was a great discovery made by me at 5 years old , time I lived beside my Phillips stereo console among piles of vynils. I heard it "millions" of times , I could never get enough of this inspiring Borodin's work.

[@Songwriter376]

Wow! I as well, at about the same age also but it was on an RCA tube console with great bass response that made me really feel the music. I listened to this countless times from a now long out of print 33 vinyl called Music from the Far East.

[@np9979]

Shure,its inspiring.Iwas very inspired by Bach wtk.now get it alone

[@musicfanBRA]

Same here, caused a great impression on me when I was about 8 , was lucky to have musical older brothers with vinyl records. This piece was one of the most engaging and that made me love classical music forever.

I first heard this at a Prom concert about 70 years ago, the start of my lifelong love of Russian music, and admiration for Alexander Borodin, full time professor of medical chemistry and part time composer.

A popular song of the 1950s "Stranger in Paradise" from the musical Kismet (1953), is credited to Robert Wright and George Forrest, but the melody is adapted from this music composed by Alexander Borodin (1833-1887). It is called, in English, the "Gliding Dance of the Maidens", from the opera Prince Igor (1890). The children singing it here and the mostly young people in the orchestra, brought me to tears ... R (Australia)

[@bechyvalderrama]

Borodin es el compositrice, los demas son copias❤

[@beowulf1312]

They were able to copy Borodin because he had long passed away and it was out of copyright. Dishonourable that they didn't acknowledge their debt to Borodin, this would not have cost anything but would be good manners.

[@OldManReadsPoetry-yc6zt]

@@beowulf1312 What do you mean, they didn't acknowledge their debt to Borodin??? I'm looking at the cover of the original cast album (starring Alfred Drake), and it clearly credits Borodin above Wright and Forrest. Verbatim, it reads: "With Music from Alexander Borodin, Musical Adaptation and Lyrics by Robert Wright and George Forrest." And so far as I know, they always gave credit to Borodin for the original music, just as they openly gave credit to Edvard Grieg for the music they adapted for the musical, "Song of Norway." The only dishonorable thing I see here is your unjustified slander. In future, I recommend you check your facts before attacking people who are not alive to defend themselves. This would not cost you anything but would be good manners!

[@stonefireice6058]

@@OldManReadsPoetry-yc6ztunfortunately there are too many examples of American pop “adaptations” of Russian music, especially songs. The 2 most famous are “Ochi chiornie” ( Очи чёрные) and “Ехали на тройке с бубенцами”, with completely new lyrics, not even remotely close to originals. Even Charles Aznavour changed lyrics of “Эх раз, ещё раз…” Tchaikovsky’s music has been mutilated by Hollywood too many times to mention. And very famous Glinka waltz was attributed to someone else. I could continue, but hopefully, you get my point.
