[@devenarcher3044]

I wanted to hear this after reading that it partly inspired Ilya Repin to paint "Ivan the Terribel and His Son Ivan" "Another inspiration for the painting was the symphonic suite Antar, which was composed by the Russian Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and is composed of four movements; the opening movement, vengeance, power and love. The music of Antar's bloody second movement inspired Repin the most; he said in his memoirs: In Moscow in 1881, while I was listening to a new piece by Rimsky-Korsakov, Vengeance ("Месть"). This sound wave took possession of me, and I thought, that I could not embody the state of the soul I had known under the influence of this music in a painting. I then remembered Tsar Ivan.

To me, after 50 years of finding this masterly written suite symphony by Rimsky-Korsakov, it remains a puzzle why it is not often on international scene as are of his rival of the time I mean another Russian Master: Tchaikovsky. Rimsky-Korsakov is a great inspiring poet, a genius of orchestration and seems have been sadly looked down because of, i think, his not to pretentious compositions which are absolutely beautiful, reachable and enjoyed also by not too high-brow ears.

Debussy highly rated this symphonic suite, and he was famously hard to please when it came to his musical contemporaries, and even when it came to his most prestigious predecessors, including Beethoven and Mozart, so that should mean something! Unless he was just out to denigrate the competition for the sake of it, or out of spite/jealousy, which seems quite unlikely to me.

It's probably almost impossible to find now, but I used to have an LP of this with a Russian orchestra conducted by Kirill Kondrashin.... The best!!!! (The album named ANTAR as RK's 2nd symphony).

[@markbeck8384]

I think it is his 2nd Symphony, but it seems more like a tone poem, doesn't it?

[@ThreadBomb]

Wow, thank you for identifying this recording. I compared with samples of all the digitally available recordings and none of them matched. Interesting that Kondrashin plays the same "wrong" note in the first 10 seconds of the 3rd movement as Svetlanov does. Belohlavek also did this in his recording, but all the other recordings have the more interesting "correct" note. I suspect Kondrashin et al. were using faulty Soviet editions of the score.

This used to be a favorite piece of mine when I was young, a long time ago. I had totally forgotten it! It has a story, if I remember: A Prince is hunting a gazelle in the Arabian desert. It turns out she is a Peri (an Arabian fairy). She offers him 3 wishes, for her freedom. He chooses: revenge, power, and love (which are the next 3 movements). His love interest is the fairy herself, and he dies of bliss in the end. Cool story.

Н. A. Rimsky-Korsakov "Antar" Symphonic Suite on the plot of Senkovsky's Arabian tale (1868, final version - 1897) The composer prefaced the score with a detailed program: "I. Beautiful is the desert of Sham; beautiful are the ruins of Palmyra, a city built by evil spirits, but Antar, the beauty of the desert, is not afraid of them and stands proudly in the midst of the ruined city. Antar has left the people forever and has sworn to hate them, for they have paid him evil for good. But now a gazelle, light and lovely, appears; Antar is ready to overtake it, suddenly a terrible noise was heard in the silence and the air was darkened by a black shadow; a monstrous bird was pursuing the gazelle. In an instant Antar changed his intention, and his spear struck the beast, which flew away with a cry; in a moment the gazelle disappeared also. Antar, left alone among the ruins, reflecting on what had happened, soon fell asleep ... And now he saw himself in the halls, where a multitude of slave-girls served him and delighted his ears. That was the dwelling of the queen of Palmyra, Peri Gul-Nazar. Peri was the very gazelle he had saved from the persecution of the evil spirit. In gratitude the peri promised Antar three great sweets of life, and when Antar ventured to experience them, the vision vanished, and he awoke among the ruins. II. The first delight bestowed upon Antar by the Queen of Palmyra was the sweetness of revenge. III. The second delight was the sweetness of power. IV.Antar appears again in the ruins of Palmyra; the third and last pleasure was the sweetness of love. Antar begged Peri to take his life as soon as she noticed in him the slightest sign of cooling, and she vowed to fulfill it. When, after a long mutual happiness, one day Peri noticed that he was absent-minded and thoughtfully looking into the distance, she immediately guessed the reason; then she passionately embraced Antar, her fire with a strong spark flew into his heart ... and Peri with a final kiss connected with the last kiss...and peri with a last kiss united Antar's soul with her own, and he fell asleep for ever on her bosom

[@عبداللهمحمدمشالي]

Antar, was a pre-Islamic Arab knight and poet, famous for both his poetry and his adventurous life . His mother was an Ethiopian woman named Zabeebah. She was a princess taken as a captive by his father as a slave during one of the tribe's raids against Axum. Described as an "Arab crow" owing to his dark complexion Antarah grew up a slave as well. He fell in love with his cousin ʿAblah, but could not hope to marry her owing to his position as a slave. He also gained the enmity of his father's wife Shammeah. He gained attention and respect for himself by his remarkable personal qualities and courage in battle, excelling as an accomplished poet and a mighty warrior. He earned his freedom after another tribe invaded the lands of the "Banu ʿAbs" . When his father said to him, "ʿAntarah, fight with the warriors", he replied that "the slave doesn't know how to invade or how to defend, but is only good for milking goats and serving his masters". His father answered him: "Defend your tribe, O ʿAntar, and you are free". After defeating the invaders, he sought to gain permission to marry his cousin. To secure allowance to marry, Antarah had to face challenges including getting a special kind of camel as a Dowry to his lover from the northern Arab kingdom of the Lakhmids, then under Al-Nu'man III ibn al-Mundhir. ʿAntarah took part in the great war between the related tribes of ʿAbs and Dhubyān,and was named after them the war of Dāhis and Ghabrā. The time and manner of his death are a matter of dispute. Ibn Doreid has him slain by Wasr-ben-Jaber or in battle against the Tai while according to Abu Obeida he died a natural death in old age.

My fave: RIMSKY-KORSAKOV: Symphony No. 2, Op. 9 "Antar." Chicago Symphony Orch ("Antar")/Orch/Band/Morton Gould, cond. REDISCOVERY RD 013 (M) (ADD) TT: 62:03 The enterprising ReDiscovery label continues its series resurrecting intriguing recordings of the past that have been neglected by major companies. Why RCA never issued on CD Morton Gould's 1968 Chicago Symphony recording of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Antar" is a mystery. Originally issued on LP (LSC 3022, oddly coupled with Miaskovsky's Symphony No. 21 recorded at the same time), from a sonic standpoint it is one of the most successful recordings made in Chicago's Medinah Temple, with fine stereo spread and rich orchestral textures, the only debit being a lack of impact in the bass drum so important in the third movement, "The Pleasure of Power." The finest performance ever of this symphony is the mid-fifties mono recording with Hermann Scherchen and the London Symphony briefly available on Nixa (NIXCD 6021) in a fine remastering by Michael Dutton. Scherchen brought a passion and intensity to this music unheard elsewhere. However, Gould's performance is equal to others currently available, with the CSO in top form. This transfer is from a mint-condition LP. I also love the Myaskovsky 21 on this 1968 vinyl.

Н. А. Римский-Корсаков "Антар" Симфоническая сюита на сюжет арабской сказки Сенковского (1868, окончательная редакция - 1897) Партитуре композитор предпослал развернутую программу: «I. Прекрасна шамская пустыня; прекрасны развалины Пальмиры, города, построенного злыми духами, но Антар, краса пустыни, не боится их и гордо стоит среди разрушенного города. Антар оставил людей навсегда и поклялся ненавидеть их, так как они заплатили ему злом за добро. Но вот показывается газель, легкая и прелестная; Антар готов ее настигнуть, вдруг страшный шум раздался в тишине и воздух омрачился черной тенью; чудовищная птица преследовала газель. Вмиг Антар переменил свое намерение, и копье его вонзилось в чудовище, которое с криком улетело; через мгновение исчезла и газель. Антар, оставшись один среди развалин, размышляя о случившемся, вскоре заснул... И вот он увидел себя в чертогах, где множество невольниц служили ему и услаждали слух. То было жилище царицы Пальмиры пери Гюль-Назар. Пери была та самая газель, которую он спас от преследования злого духа. В благодарность пери обещала Антару три великие сладости жизни, и когда Антар решился испытать их, видение исчезло, и он очнулся среди развалин. II. Первым наслаждением, дарованным Антару царицей Пальмиры, была сладость мести. III. Вторым наслаждением была сладость власти. IV. Вновь Антар появляется в развалинах Пальмиры; третьим и последним наслаждением была сладость любви. Антар умолял пери отнять у него жизнь, лишь только заметит в нем малейший признак охлаждения, и она клялась исполнить это. Когда, после долгого обоюдного счастья, однажды заметила пери, что он рассеян и задумчиво смотрит вдаль, то тотчас угадала причину; тогда она страстно обняла Антара, огонь ее сильной искрой перелетел в его сердце... и пери с последним поцелуем соединила душу Антара со своей, и он уснул навеки на груди ее (Сюжет из арабской сказки Сенковского.)».
