Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov - Fantasia on Russian Themes / Фантазия на русские темы

[@dmitryyudenkov4107]

Великий музыкальный волшебник и сказочник русской земли - Николай Римский-Корсаков. Обожаю!..

[@АлександрЗаваров-е1ы]

Да, самый ,самый русский композитор.

[@K700-e2r]

Красиво и верно написали о Римском- Корсакове.🌹

[@lubavabuslaevna6799]

Верно. Здесь нет ни интальянских, ни немецких интонаций, которые с Рома-новыми были внедрены в русскую культуру. И у Мусоргского тоже оочень русские мелодии есть, например - "Утро на Москве-реке", вот там мелодия Древней Руси, в чиистом виде.

[@pasqualeterzi230]

I'm italian and we had many great composers, but the great essere of Rimsky Korsakov, Borodin, Mussorgsky and others of same era, is unattainable by anyone else

Here you can hear very clearly where one Ottorino Respighi has learned his craft!

[@jbut1208]

If you travel across Russia by train you will see endless forests, rivers, plains and marshes. The land will overwhelm you. It seems to do this to all Russian composers and have a powerful effect on their music! It explains the character of their music!

Cette musique est positivement exaltante....richesse du discours mélodique, harmonies à couper le souffle, orchestration sans cesse renouvelée dans l’utilisation des timbres de l'orchestre, bref une babylonienne architecture sonore érigée par un humble et immense maître.

[@patriciocastro391]

Mi sincere admiration for Russian music and Nikolay"s in particular. It is such a serious music, even stern, yet it is full of soul, Slav soul.

[@itsnadaaaa]

Shoshtakovich, Korsakov and Tchaikovsky. My all time favorite Russian composers

[@justanotherbohemian3827]

Same!!

[@TuckerMaxwell-j4o]

Don't forget Glazunov! He's one of my favorites, two of his most powerful works are Raymonda and his 4th symphony, though he wrote so much good music. I'd personally say my top 3 favorite Russian composers are Korsakov, Glazunov, and Shostakovich, that's how much I enjoy his music.

[@MegaVicar]

‘‘Beauty will save the world.’ Dostoevsky said this in a more overtly spiritual context but I believe it applies here.

[@StonyRC]

I truly wish that were so ... but I fear that beauty is too easily crushed underfoot.

[@tia904]

@fermatichebellosei1595 Just because your musical knowledge is lacking doesn't mean other Scandinavian composers don't exist... Can even spell Grieg correctly... Not everyone is into big orchestra music... Music exists for everyone's taste. But I agree that to relate musical talent to climate is strange ... Protestantism, then common in Scandinavia, considered music pagan and a distraction...

[@gpcrawford8353]

Incredible to think that Rimsky-Korsakov was offered and took a professorship in orchestration though in his own words he couldn’t name all the chords but could play them. He had no structured music education save that he picked up from the mighty handful. In his words he became the conservatory’s best student as he learned by himself all that he didn’t know.

[@QHarefield]

Well, I never knew that! Thank you. Astounding.

[@yp3424]

Indeed, apart from this, he was the teacher of composers, such as Al.Glazunov, Arensky, Ig. Stravinsky snd partially S. Prokofiev's. His works have had a decisive impact on them. He also wrote the 2-volume treatise "Principles of orchestration", edited by Max. Steinberg. The examples of the book are excerpts from his own operas.

[@claudiarovaris1651]

[@cynthiamasakovictoria.sontheim]

Rimsky-Korsakov translated what he felt about Russia into music, to make it audible to us. He was brilliant.

[@Amelia4144]

[@normloren7693]

[@tobiasboston5663]

Yes I agree! Shostakovich is my favorite! Khachaturian is good too if he counts, and Prokofiev also.

[@gerardopedrolusardo2154]

soy de argentina y comparto tu opinion siempre me gustaron las musicas rusas

[@FatimaCantante]

They are simply the best

[@yichidance]

I think the charming of music from Russian composers is mainly due to that they put many native folk songs into their music from ancient Caucasia, the steppe of Central Asian. People divided the cultural development into western and oriental from there.

[@paulalexander2928]

I am from a Ukrainian background and this along with music from my native country this music goes to the soul of every Slav. I can still hear my Buba singing songs from her village in Ukraine . Sitting around the table at Easter with the Easter bread blessed by the priest holding three candles and hand dyed Easter eggs . At Christmas going to St. Vladamirs and listening to the choir sing beautiful hymns. At 70 years now it seems like a long time ago.

One can feel the vastness and majesty of Russia in this great orchestral score by the great Meistro. Yet one can also feel the suttleness and yet the dangers that lurk within the vast Tiaga of Siberia while at the same token the gentleness of flowing rivers and streams of the nation as a whole. The spirit of Russia is summed up in this masterpiece. 🇷🇺

Rimsky-Korsakov is mu favorite Russian Composer. He is considered one of the "Four Mighty". Russian Composers' Music is so close to their people and land and all is characteristically Russian. This piece of music is beautiful.

+Ivanoe Cubillos Just so! My Mum was part Russian and I have been fascinated by this music since my early childhood.

[@ivanoech]

+KayBee Nullenvoyde I do not know whether I have some Russian ancestors or not. I like other Russian Composers and also like Russian folk music and dances. I think every nation in this planet have spirit and they express on their own way. I also love Beethoven's music, Schuber, Vivaldi, Haendel, and many others. I love ancient music and their intruments. I love the folk music of different countries specially of Latin American countries.

[@bonniecallahan5924]

+Ivanoe Cubillos I love the music of the world over, here and beyond. In USA we no longer hear any decent world music other than on Pacifica stations and certain very localized college channels; the 1996 Telecommunications Act signed by Clinton has DESTROYED radio culture in this country. (The American Right Wing madness all came about BECAUSE of that rotten piece of legislation!) Most music here is Xtian, Rap (NOT MUSIC), Metal, SAPPY love songs, "Oldies", and many classical stations are heavy on the Mozart/Bach/Haydn/and "War Horses" played by "Pops" orchestras. You Tube has become my "Go-To" for intelligent music!

[@ivanoech]

+Bonnie Callahan I live alone now and sometimes feel very lonely and my only company are my plants, music, books, and my daily walks. I do not have a stereo or a special equipment to listen music. I listen music, see documentaries, or see news is in my computer on Internet from KZbin. I have a TV but I don't use it anymore. I do not find many things interesting on TV anymore. Do you have a computer? You can even connect with a radio station. It is incredible how this media can give us so much. You can find anything in KZbin, something very bad too so we must be selective and be careful about documentaries or shows. There are excellent documentaries and bad too. Saludos

There's an old somewhat worn out adage. "There is always something exciting happening in Russian music". This piece is certainly no exception. His work is so atmospheric. Perhaps not so great a work as Scheherazade or Antar but that's a matter of opinion. i love them all.

+Warren Hamlet "There is always something exciting happening in Russian music" - now there's a phrase I won't be forgetting. Do you have any idea where it is from?

[@windstorm1000]

totally agree--one would have to be sleeping or tone deaf not to get excited. its flavorful like good borscht

It seemed like the more oppressive Russian society was, the more daring and exciting its music became.

[@vitosnet]

Shawn Wooster Some people can not bear Russian spirit. Ah, and some others thinking that using language of Vivaldi means unoriginality. But it's only same language - to make it clear to people who do not know Russian well. And someone else thinks it could be played better. So - three "not" to two hundreds of "yes". It's normal. What is strange to me is that so few people knows about it.

[@twilbry7807]

Not all people have same taste, or same experience. Someone could have a bad memories about them. Though I liked it.

That's the very reason I started working on the solo by myself during my part time since one month ago in Sept. Right now I think I am almost finished. Can't stop listening and playing this piece.

Such tenderhearted music, as we often associate Russia with callousness. I have studied their history and am nonplussed by the paradox of harshness and tenderness in their culture. I am only 1/8 Russian, but that fact has fascinated me for decades.

[@ОльгаГофман-о8у]

Who created the myth of Russia's callousness? Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Bulgakov, Pasternak, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Prokofiev and many others would never have appeared in a soulless country. The poet Rainer Rilke wrote: "All countries border on each other and only Russia borders on God." Better read what they wrote about Russia: Thomas Mann, Berlioz.
