"The Tsar's Bride" Overture by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (Audio + Sheet Music)

pf: Moscow Symphony Orchestra cond/ Igor Golovschin
Year/Date of Composition: 1898-99
First Performance: 1899-11-03 - Moscow, Solodovnikov Theatre, Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov (conductor) (complete opera)
The Russian composer Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) finished his opera 'The Tsar's Bride' in 1899. This opera is a lurid melodrama set in the time of Ivan the Terrible, though this might hardly be guessed from its overture. However, this was a period when Rimsky was concerned with 'classicizing' his style, and the piece is best taken simply as a neat sonata structure built from highly abstractive music, though with what sounds like a sort of double recapitulation followed by a wistful new melody introducing the dying coda.

If I may, I highly recommend listening to the introduction (Hymn to Nature/Paean to Wilderness) of the Invisible City of Kitezh if you have not already

The Tsar's Bride must've been an "uptown girl", beginning at the 6:00 mark it sounds like Billy Joel!

Guess where Billy Joel got it from!

This final is a typical case of compressing recoding, it toke the sweet of the end away

Sounds so awesome do you know if there is other pieces with similar harmony?

[@AydarAkhmady]

Procession of the Nobles written by the same composer, from his opera "Mlada". surely, you'll love it!

[@SilverWiskeyStones]

@@AydarAkhmady Scheherezade is again from Korsakov, I would think you would enjoy it as well. A good bit longer but a delightful listen.

[@GGbreizh]

Easter overture.

[@archiestanton2767]

Capricio Espagnol by Rimsky Korsakov, and also look for pieces written by the following Russian composers: Borodin, Glinka, Ippolitov-Ivanov

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

Dvorak

[@andreauribe6454]

Un poquito de billy joel y de grieg😮

[@AndreyRubtsovRU]

such a nice noble performance, not overly 'russian'

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

How do the russian performances tend to be?

[@AndreyRubtsovRU]

@@emanuel_soundtrack rough, loud, substituting quality with energy and "passion"
