I will never understand why Russian composers are so under-rated in the west, all the while I have to listen to the same old Beethoven and Mozart pieces over and over in concert houses. Maybe this is related to how the west never fully understood the Russian soul and hence could also not be captivated by its music.
@BobBeverage11 ай бұрын
@@Saemi14 This country has never really embraced Russia or it's culture, for political reasons. Music overcomes this to some extent, but not much. When we are at odds politically, you will hear less Russian music in the concert halls. I have great respect for many Russian composers. They are up there among the best we have ever had in classical music, particularly romantic and late romantic composers. But sadly, as the political climate is these days, they will not be heard in the concert halls in the US very often. And likewise, they probably program few, if any, American composers in Russia.

@@Marinavalerevna That's a terrible thing to experience. No one should be criticized for simply listening to music.

The opera was commissioned and premiered by the NY Metropolitan, but failed to re-capture the magic of the composer's "Hansel and Gretel".

Well, I am very fond of him too, but can''t agree that he was one of the few to draw upon Russian myth. He was one of a group that concentrated on a more Russian music, and though most of them died or became unimportant, he became very successful, especially after, at Tchaikovsky's suggestion, he pursued a technical education. R-K probably tried to insinuate more Russian myth than most of them in his music, but Stravinsky's Firebird, Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, some of Mussorgsky's work, Glinka before any of them, utilized Russian or Slavic myth or folk-lore. Others too.
