A few years ago I heard this song in the distance while I was walking throught the streets of Moscow. When I reached the sound, I saw a man playing it with a balalaika. He had a long white beard and told me a story related to the song, about an Indian magician that was killed because of a promise he made to the moon in the last eve of the year. After he stopped playing, I was so enthusiastic that I asked the white-bearded man about his life. He stared in silence and took a little photo out of his pocket. It was a nice, blond, innocent girl. «She's my daughter»-he told me-«She loved this song, but died two months ago because of a heart disease. I play each night in the streets to remember her». He started crying, and I've never seen this man again, nor his balalaika. And I haven't heard this song again without thinking about him, that magical night in Moscow and his profound sadness.
a heartbreaking story that brought me to tears. i pray the man has found peace. thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this story, you never know people have different issues in life and we're brought together through music that touches our soul.
Holy g!! This story is so heartbreaking and incredible at the same time! Brought me to tears this story and the way this man brought her back through her baby girl music. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
;(
very touching story
Sometimes a composer will write a melody that does something to your emotion that the only thing you can do is wipe the tears away. Thank God for music!
I've been listening to classical music for over 70 years. There is nothing any better than this.
I fell in love with this magical song 70years ago and I haven't got over it still. As an Indian I am so proud that Rimsky-Korsakov dedicated this jewel to India.
you are over 70 oof
I’m Indian too

Naushad's Awaz de Kahan Hai duet in Anmol Ghadi based on this tune.
Very true!
This was my Mother's favorite classical piece during her youth. She has passed away seven years ago but since today would have been her birthday, I was thinking of her. I thought about this song. It is a beautiful composition and glad she shared this lovely piece of music with me.
je partage votre avis; la version orchestrale a quelque chose de magique, de sentimental.
Your mother had a beautiful soul! This evokes something that is very hard to understand. A yearning, a deep longing. Something absolutely beautiful. Bless you. And bless each and every of your memories of her!
Larry, you have a beautiful soul yourself.
My mothers too :)
Such beautiful comments. Everyone have an amazing day :)
This song "belongs" to my Mother who died much too young and a great deal unfullfilled. Passing on the appreciation of Rimsky-Korsakov's beautiful lilting music is one of her heritages which fulfills me and, as proxy for my mother, her as well.
This is truly hard to whistle.
Even if you're a good whistler

I felt inspired to try after reading your comment. I wholeheartedly concur.
+Francisco Ícaro It's all those pesky black notes, you see.
+Francisco Ícaro i literarly just stoped at that sentence in the book to check this song up. found it funny
Rimski-Korsakoff's song of India is uniquely beautiful among my all time most beloved
Sorry that should be Korsakov
I love this song! One of my favourite songs of all times!!
For anyone that wants to know, Yan Pascal Tortelier conducted this recording with the London Symphony Orchestra. He's not credited on many of the currently circulating albums containing this song, so I had to go through a lot of trouble to find out who was actually conducting it.
HandattheHelm Thankyou so much for that info
The son of the great Cellist Paul Tortelier.
how did you find this information?
HandattheHelm good job - thanks mucho!
This reminds me of Palm Court radio program Sunday evenings in the 30s with parents thanks Cecil Merrett
As an Indian I am so proud of this enchanting and dreamy song so beautifully played.
Rajan Hariharan Yes, you should be proud!! ❤️☺️
Russians before bolchevikes were very cultural nation
@@BAD_IT only the nobility was, ordinary people where forgotten, poor and uneducated.
@@FEKBRus лжец ! В России было много композиторов не из дворян . Зачем Россию на весь свет позорить и распространять заблуждения ?
Nowadays we criticise Orientalism, but the music it produced was majestic.
This has been my favorite piece of music since I was a young teenager. I am in my 70s and it still pulls at my heart strings .It has a gentle quality but is also strong and vibrant. Oh to have such a talent and be able to imagine, compose and play such beautiful music. How wonderful is it to listen to Korsakov's Song of India and watch Torvill and Dean skate to it. A union of two great talents united in one magnificent performance.
Один из великих русских классиков,который мог перенести в музыку величие природы и душу человека.Мне очень нравится.Браво!!!
Rimski-Korsakov has always been my favorite. His music has a melodic, often very recognizable and sensual quality that stays with you, and often very airy, joyful and light. Once you hear a piece of his music, you can always remember its source. Many of his pieces have been used in popular music so that the remakes of it always bring it "current" and not forgotten.
WELL PUT. I HAVE WORKED AND VISITED INDIA- THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT IN SO MANY WAYS.

Tacks Sherbo Agreed...Borodin also? What sayest thou?
@@karencontestabile6125I sayest, YES! The Russian composers are my favorite classical composers. Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin, Rachmaninoff, etc.

We can dream can't we! Greatest nation on earth is our imagi-nation. Keep dreaming
That is exactly what this is.
When I was a young teen, my mom bought some classical albums. This was one of the songs, but it was my favorite. Thanks to my mom, I have a very eclectic musical genre. She was brilliant!
Rich, beautiful and timeless, when a lot of rock is long forgotten this jewel will still shine.
+serferten absolutamente!!!!!!! Esta muy hermoso.
+fred greene Thanks Fred, it is so . . . . where are the words. This song for me in my '60s spoke of the richness of opera I've missed.
And, here I am thinking how much of a "Rock" song this really is. The melodies could easily be incorporated into any number of rock or EDM music, and likely already has. Beethoven and Mozart had the spirit of rockers and so does this.
MarkasTZM except they came before Rock, so it's more like rock has been born after the spirit
Gorgeous! I had tears in my eyes; incredible strings! Gentle, yet magnificent!
I love Rimsky-Korsakov, but stand ashamed that I did not hear this music until now.
My most recent instructor said her beloved grandfather had asked her to perform this song with her group. They always had close bonds through music...he would always pick out pieces for her to try.
Sadly, not long after she finished performing, she got word that her grandfather was taken to the hospital. He passed away later that evening.
I had respectfully asked her what song it was. I listened to it today.
What a gift.
I am in complete awe.
What a lovely piece of music. When I listen to it I close my eyes and I feel I am far away, no stress or problems to worry about, simply wonderful.
This beautiful composition of Rimsky-Korsakov brings forth emotions from the depths of the soul so it seems....
The first song I remember my mother sang when I was a very little child. She had a beautiful voice and she created a magical experience. Since today would be 14 years of her passing, I thought the best way to celebrate her would be listening again to the song which always represented her to me. Thank you for this amazing song.
Thank you you tube for introducing me to this enchanting music. Today 9/28/21 is the first time I've heard this lovely piece of music. I'm familiar with most of RK's music, but until tonight, I had never heard this gem. Again, thanks you tube, I love you ❤️❤️❤️
A wonderful journey into the heart and soul of India; it's a classic to be sure
For TSF from Shambala on 21st November Group of EGA and SOEPCouncil.
along with this song Of India...
Sending Love, Light and Blessings !
Sohini
This would be a beautiful song to listen to while ice skating outside during winter.
I agree with everyone else ... this is a very stirring and moving song. Its not a song about princes and their riches, its a song about the people, their way-of-life, and their love for their country, its religions, and traditions. A song of time honored love.
God bless my father to show me how beautiful is this masterpiece of world music
Truly beautiful, this delicate and elegant melody really can touch your soul.
He's definitely one of my favorite Russian composers! ❤👍
Me too
Cântec Indian, am dansat pe aceasta melodie unul din numerele mele de diplomă la academia de Coregrafie din România, o amintire de vis sublimă...
A VERY BEAUTIFUL Song !! I have visited India two times and I never knew this song existed. Love 💕 this Song
I love this haunting, mysterious piece................and also love the version by Tommy Dorsey and Glen Gray.
+SpeedyNeutrino172 Thanks for comments...JITENDRA KUMAR....jzpatelut..
Every time I listen to Sog of India I get the same impression : "this is the best piece ever composed!"
Proof of the human mind's gift, to flow with an infinite stream of melody, with just such a small handful of notes in its grasp, in sublime, endless, angelic combination. What other species has Nature so blessed? How could such a face express such emotion?
It's a warm night, the moon is shining bright over the forests and fields, and this music comes to mind....
I agree---A perfect description for a place to appreciate this beautiful music
This dreamy song is the essence of art.
Always timeless, soothing and comforting maybe the kind of music I will hear in heaven.😍😚
I came across this after reading a passing mention of it in Catcher in the Rye. It is a truly beautiful piece of music!
Me too. JD Salinger was a teen in the 1930s and would have been talking about the swing version by Tommy Dorsey and his band.
Im here for the exact same reason
Same
Same
Stradlater’s shaving whilst butchering this song in a whistle. Great to have fellow readers here
What a wonderful crescendo all through the music
Divine!! Thank you, so, so much!!
Merveilleux Rimsky-Korsakov !
Just remember this was created in a time before TV and even radio , when people had to think, imagine and wonder , in a place where most could never even consider anything more than survival.
calm down, they weren't savages. Even so, most composers, like it or not, were very well off from birth. They didn't compose where others didn't because they were profound artists fighting through adversity but largely because they could afford to.
SANDMAN XIV Great comment!
I wish that I can travel on time to this time , I LOVE IT 💔
@@hollyjollydog no that isn't true music was on the street more then now. Going the opera some wouldn't go in their lifetime since only people of higher society could pay for this and right color (i'm black ).
and there was no Media propaganda, the news was importing facts at least 59& of the time
My sister played this on the piano in here graduation from primary school in 1949, and I’ll never forget it. Absolutely beautiful!
The most beautiful song ever written.
Isn't it Just !!
It isn’t
Richard Wilbers technically it's a piece of music.
Originally it's a song for tenor from an opera (Sadko).
@I know it all. I know it all. Just because this particular rendition doesnt have it. Normally, there are words that start with не счесть алмазов каменных пещерах. Just copy this to search bar and you'll hear the words
Beautiful composition of extreme delicacy. Repetition of the main motive in different instrumental versions all touching. Spiritual and brilliant at the same time. Magnificent sample of the genius of this composer.
Que música más maravillosa, sin palabras….
QUE BELLAS OBRAS NOS DEJÓ KORSAKOV, GRACIAS A ÉL Y A YOU TUBE POR SU DIFUSIÒN. MIL GRACIAS
A definitive example of music's special nature and unbounded possibilities, a truly transforming piece...exquisitely beautiful!
I learnt the melody of this song when I was teenager. I had a very good music teacher in the "Escuela Normal de Ancud" to form teachers for primary schools in Chile. There were this kind of schools in the country. They were closed by the dictaorship in 173. I was in one of them in the island of Chiloe, Chile.
I learnt it too as a teenager. am Irish, love this beautiful music.
I have played this beautiful song with my flute since I was a kid!
Can’t stop fall in love with this kind of melody every single time!
Absolutely magical
About 10 years ago, I was walking by a paint store on Heping Road in Taipei. Flute notes came wafting out of the store: Song of India! I went in and there was a young woman with her music stand in between stacks of paint cans. She'd studied music, she said, but now she worked in a paint store. Or maybe she owned the paint store. Anyway, she still loved music. I used to go by there fairly often, but I only heard music once.
Music transcends all language barriers to convey thoughts and feelings not easily expressed
"She'd studied music, she said, but now she worked in a paint store."
This world is awful. : (
What a beautiful story
If you like this melody you should check out the entire opera it comes from, Rimsky-Korskov's SADKO, 1898. It's not easy to locate but I found it worth the trouble.
Song of India is puur emotie van het genie Rimsky ! I have tears in my eyes !
While reading The Catcher in the Rye, Holden the main character remarks that his roommate always picks hardest songs to whistle, then he mentions this song/aria😏I'd agree
What beautiful and poignant music! I fell in love with the melody the day my daughter's piano teacher introduced it to her.
Tommey Dorsey is the reason I'm here. This is beautiful highly discriptive music. Haunting. I'm 74, and until today I never knew this was a classical piece. You're never too old to learn they say.
Such a wonderful, enchanting and beautiful melody and piece. Lovely rich orchestration.
Truly sublime piece of music 🎶 thought provoking and emotional ❤
I think of Betty Draper everytime I hear this astounding piece of music
Damn, now you got me doing it, Betty,oh Betty, Wither for art thou!!????
I think of Hazel Alder with me in Miss Bell's first year primary class.
This is one of the first classical compositions I was introduced to long ago. It was in this piano music book for beginners entitled "World's Most Famous Classical Music." So, I'm taking a trip through memory lane. Nice recording.
Bellísima. Música que llega al "alma" y nos hace soñar que no somos solo materia.
One of the best versions in my opinion ...Thankyou ..!
This music speaks to my soul, the violin......
This piece always makes me glad to have been alive long enough to hear it one more time. Always brings a tear of joy. Please name the orchestra and thereby give credit to some fine musicians.
This is a wonder ! Evokes memories, pulls the heartstrings with its hauntingly yearning melody!
Thank you for posting this for the world to enjoy! A gift you gave to us all!
Oh...that oboe, echoing the violin!
🔥💔❤️
One of the most soothing songs on my playlist
Rimsky korsakov excelente compositor; e sua famosa "canção da índia".uma linda melodia. aliás conquista os corações. luiza cezar.
Beautiful ! Thank you !
You are smacked right between the eyes when this compared to todays"music" tell us where we are in time.
Unforgetable!!! Most beautiful....
softly exhaling
such joy
Such bliss...... such beauty
Thank you .... Thank you ... Just what my day needed...
Completely enchanting.
Well , I learned something today .
I was unaware that Tommy Dorsey made " THIS beautiful piece of music into a SWING hit iN the 40's .
As a CBC listener I had heard this many times without realizing it was a Rimsky Korsakov
classic .
A great musician like Mr. Dorsey took a piece of music by a GREAT COMPOSER and adapted it to be heard by even a greater audience .
Wonderful job by BOTH YOU GUYS .
NO . GREAT JOB !
Incredible beautiful melody ! I guess this was the original version by R-K (who had a egendary talent for orchestra scoring ,together with Berlioz; both immensely admired by conductors for their enormous talent for Orch. scoring). A composer of genius OC !
Fell in love with this since I first heard this in the premiere episode of Season 2 (1962) of Mad Men. Seems appropro to listen to on a Friday in February!

Albeit the Tommy Dorset version is a magnificent work, nothing compares to this extraordinary and beauty classical masterwork.
My name is Sadko and this music has a strange and wounderful effect on me, magic....
Love this piece of music .
Best version ever, i like the big dance bands versions but this really stirs the soul.
david hall ñ
La canción india de la ópera Sadko fue una de las primeras partituras que estudié cuando empece a tocar la bandurria en el año 1959 y nunca la he olvidado.
absolutely beautiful ,also love the tommy Dorsey version we will never get lovely music like this again sadly
Heard this song in my music appreciation class at the beginning of the semester and I have listened to it almost every day since. It just makes me smile inside, like I could just float away.
i react the same way to this beautiful music
Une très belle interprétation de cette œuvre. Un enchantement.
I love this beautiful music, this magic dream!
Un de mes compositeurs préférés...
Serenely romantic! Thank you so much!
One of my favorite performances. By ANYONE!
I see several mentions of Tommy Dorsey here, but am surprised to see no one mentioning that Victor Young surely took his inspiration for "India Country Side"-that's the way I see it in print-from it. "India Country Side" can be heard in the score from the 1956 blockbuster Around the World in 80 Days, a movie that has not held up at all well. (About all it had was a beautiful balloon.)
Moving art! Absolutely lovely. Thanks for sharing this work as well. I am overwhelmed with RK's excellent work.
Es una extraoridinaria creación musical que va envolviéndonos con su majestuosidad, sensualidad y misterio.
Can you imagine what this must have sounded like to the ears of those in a time before radio, cd and all other electronics?
These wonderful Victorian composers who had this beautiful music in their heads and shared it with us, God Bless them and their dedication.
dreamy and beautiful, thank you
The song is really beautiful and haunting. If it is about India which the Title suggests must mean the Tragedy of Indian state today. Most of Urban and Rural India today is so much polluted, dirty and shabby looking populated with poor people. I am not at all proud.We are working and working but will ever see again the beauty which has been lost while this Plant we call earth survives.
Che meraviglia. Il violino fa vibrare le corde dell'anima❤️
From the composer's genius talent to our souls.
I love this music more than anything but this story is more than l can bear...
incredible
