CD Reviews

Great Russian sampler

Newton Ooi | Phoenix, Arizona United States | 10/23/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"When one thinks of Russian classical music; one thinks of Tchaikovsky and his ballet music. But there is a lot more to the music from this biggest of countries. Classical music flowered in Russia during the Romance period, and some of the most beautiful and evocative music to come from Eastern Europe and Central Asia appeared at this time. This CD provides a great compilation of many of these works. They include works from Borodin, Gliere, Mussorgsky, and Ippolitov - Ivanov. None of the famous pieces are included, instead we have a lot of less well-known, but still beautiful works of classical music. They include ethnic pieces such as Polovstian Dances, patriotic pieces such as the Slavic March, and ballet pieces such as the Red Poppy Ballet. The CD itself clocks in at 76+ minutes, and the sound quality is fine. Overall a great CD, especially for its price."
