No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. David Brodbeck The Professor and the Sea Princess: Letters of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Nadezhda Zabela-Vrubel EDITED BY MARINA FROLOVA-WALKER TRANSLATED BY JONATHAN WALKER I am still filled, my dear, dear friend, Filled with your visage, filled with you! . It is as if a light-winged angel Descended to converse with me. Leaving the angel at the threshold Of holy heaven, now alone, I gather some angelic feathers Shed by rainbow wings . —Apollon Maykov (1852), set by Rimsky-Korsakov as No. 4 of his Opus 50 songs and dedicated to Nadezhda Zabela-Vrubel “I am rather dry by nature,” confessed Rimsky-Korsakov in one of his letters.1 This is indeed the prevailing impression we are likely to draw from his biographies, or even from his own memoirs. We know so much about the externals of his life, and yet the inner man somehow eludes us, obscured by his professorial image: a kindly but reserved man, with a pos- itive outlook on life, dignified and of impeccable morals. The contrast with the wild biographies of Musorgsky and Tchaikovsky allows us to suppose that Rimsky-Korsakov was really rather ordinary, even a little dreary. 1. Maykov’s Russian original of the epigraph above is as follows: Yeshcho ya poln, o drug moy milïy, / Tvoim yavlen'yem, poln toboy!. ./ Kak budto angel legkokrïlïy / Sletal besedovat' so mnoy, / I, provodiv yego v preddver'ye svyatïkh nebes, ya bez nego / Sbirayu vïpavshiye per'ya / Iz krïl'yev raduzhnïkh yego… • 3 • For general queries, contact [email protected] © Copyright, Princeton University Press.

  • RIMSKY-KORSAKOV: Pan Voyevoda • Sadko 8.553858
    NAXOS NAXOS Rimsky-Korsakov: Rimsky-Korsakov, a naval officer, became a member of the group of Russian nationalist composers known as The Mighty Handful. His mastery of orchestration led to a strong influence on succeeding generations of composers such as Glazunov and Ravel. Orchestral Works: Though best known abroad for his orchestral music, Rimsky-Korsakov made a significant contribution to Russian opera. In the opera Pan Voyevoda he paid tribute to Chopin, with a DDD plot set in Poland, while the orchestral Sadko deals with a Russian legend. May Night treats a comic tale by Gogol and the opera Boyarïnya Vera Sheloga with its lullaby Hush Now, Hushaby, serves as a curtain- 8.553858 RIMSKY-KORSAKOV raiser to The Maid of Pskov.

  • RUSSIAN & UKRAINIAN Russian & Ukrainian Symphonies and Orchestral Works
    RUSSIAN & UKRAINIAN Russian & Ukrainian Symphonies and Orchestral Works Occupying a vast land mass that has long been a melting pot of home-spun traditions and external influences, Russia’s history is deeply encrypted in the orchestral music to be found in this catalogue. Journeying from the Russian Empire through the Soviet era to the contemporary scene, the music of the Russian masters covers a huge canvas of richly coloured and immediately accessible works. Influences of folklore, orthodox liturgy, political brutality and human passion are all to be found in the listings. These range from 19th-century masterpieces penned by ‘The Mighty Five’ (Balakirev, Rimsky-Korsakov, Mussorgsky, Borodin, and Cui) to the edgy works of Prokofiev and Shostakovich that rubbed against the watchful eye of the Soviet authorities, culminating in the symphonic output of one of today’s most noted Russian composers, Alla Pavlova. Tchaikovsky wrote his orchestral works in a largely cosmopolitan style, leaving it to the band of brothers in The Mighty Five to fully shake off the Germanic influence that had long dominated their homeland’s musical scene. As part of this process, they imparted a thoroughly ethnic identity to their compositions. The titles of the works alone are enough to get the imaginative juices running, witness Borodin’s In the Steppes of Central Asia, Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh, and Mussorgsky’s St John’s Night on the Bare Mountain. Supplementing the purely symphonic works, instrumental music from operas and ballets is also to be found in, for example, Prokofiev’sThe Love for Three Oranges Suite, Shostakovich’s four Ballet Suites, and Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite.

  • Some Highlights of Russian Realism from the Golden Age Awarded an Honorary Professorship by Provincial Cities, Not Just St
    FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE By Melville Holmes In 1863, the same year that disaffection with the Paris Salon reached such a pitch that Napoleon III felt obliged to mount the Salon des Refusés, concurrent with the offcial Salon, a minor insurrection took place in the Imperial Academy in St. Petersburg, but one that would go down in the annals of Russian culture as a turning point and a milestone in the history of Russian art. A group of art students at the Academy, largely led by Kramskoi, refused to take part in a competition for a gold medal, which included the prize of a scholarship to study abroad, in Paris or Italy. The reason given had to do with certain rules of the contest and wanting the freedom to select one’s own subject matter. This was the frst time the students stood up to the authorities, though the real upshot was rather indefnite. Eight of the rebels would go on to become offcially acknowledged Academicians, including Kramskoi. In fact, the Russian Academy seems largely to have been much more kindly and encouraging to gifted artists Vasili Pukirev (1832-1890) From with fresh ideas than their Parisian The Unequal Marriage 1862 counterparts. oil on canvas 68.5 х 54” One example is Vasili Pukirev (1832- Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow 1890), best known for The Unequal The fgure on the far right is thought to be Pukirev.

  • THE COLLECTED TALES of NIKOLAI GOGOL Translated and Annotated by RICHARD PEVEAR and LARISSA VOLOKHONSKY FIRST VINTAGE CLASSICS EDITION, JULY 1999 ISBN: 0679430237
    THE COLLECTED TALES OF NIKOLAI GOGOL Translated and Annotated by RICHARD PEVEAR and LARISSA VOLOKHONSKY FIRST VINTAGE CLASSICS EDITION, JULY 1999 ISBN: 0679430237 1 Preface Art has the provinces in its blood. Art is provincial in principle, preserving for itself a naive, external, astonished and envious outlook. -Andrei Sinyavsky, In Gogol's Shadow Nikolai Vassilyevich Gogol was born on April 1, 1809, in the village of Sorochintsy, Mirgorod district, Poltava province, in the Ukraine, also known as Little Russia. His childhood was spent on Vassilyevka, a modest estate belonging to his mother. Nearby was the town of Dikanka, once the property of Kochubey, the most famous hetman of the independent Ukraine. In the church of Dikanka there was an icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, for whom Gogol was named. In 1821 Gogol was sent to boarding school in Nezhin, near Kiev. He graduated seven years later, and in December 1828, at the age of nineteen, left his native province to try his fortunes in the Russian capital. There he fled from posts as a clerk in two government ministries, failed a tryout for the imperial theater (he had not been a brilliant student at school, but had shown unusual talent as a mimic and actor, and his late father had been an amateur playwright), printed at his own expense a long and very bad romantic poem, then bought back all the copies and burned them, and in 1830 published his first tale, "St. John's Eve," in the March issue of the magazine Fatherland Notes. There followed, in September 1831 and March 1832, the two volumes of Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka, each containing four tales on Ukrainian themes with a prologue by their supposed collector, the beekeeper Rusty Panko.

  • The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine
    THE NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA OF UKRAINE 24 CONCERT PROGRAM Yevhen Stankovych Monday, February 13, 2017 Suite from the ballet 8:00pm The Night Before Christmas I. Introduction II. Oksan and Koval Volodymyr Sirenko III. Kozachok conductor Dima Tkachenko Yevhen Stankovych violin Violin Concerto No. 2 I. Largo (Molto espressivo, Rubato) The National Symphony II. Allegro Orchestra of Ukraine III. Largo Intermission This concert is generously Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky supported by the Ihnatowycz Symphony No. 6 in B Minor, Op. 74 “Pathétique” Family Foundation and the Temerty Family Foundation. I. Adagio – Allegro non troppo II. Allegro con grazia III. Allegro molto vivace IV. Finale: Adagio lamentoso MEDIA PARTNER I hope you enjoyed the pre-concert lobby performance of the Toronto-based Ukrainian Art Song Project, with Canadian superstars Krisztina Szabó and Russell Braun, accompanied by Albert Krywolt! On stage, we welcome our guests, The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine. This orchestra has a long tradition of music-making, and it is a rare privilege to hear them here in Toronto. Conductor Peter Volodymyr Sirenko is joined by soloist Dima Tkachenko. Yevhen Stankovych is Oundjian perhaps the most distinguished Ukrainian composer of his generation. His ballet Music The Night Before Christmas is a truly colourful work, joyful and celebratory, Director masterfully orchestrated. His Second Violin Concerto is very different— rhapsodic and lyrical, with a dark intensity that builds relentlessly to a passionate and dramatic final section, before closing quietly with a moving hymn. The second half of the concert features Tchaikovsky’s wonderful final symphony, the “Pathétique”. We so often speculate on whether or not the final moments of the finale are a farewell to the world that we can overlook the sheer beauty and sparkling high energy of the rest of the music.

  • Introduction to Russian Folklore (3 Credits) Winter 2021 MW: 2:35-3:55 EDUC 627
    4 Department of Ƒ Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Russian Studies RUSS 229: Introduction to Russian Folklore (3 credits) Winter 2021 MW: 2:35-3:55 EDUC 627 Instructor: Daniel W. Pratt Office: 688 Sherbrooke West, Room 375 Email: [email protected] Office Hours in Person: Tuesday, 1-2 PM Office Hours on Zoom: Wednesday, 1-2 PM https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/85464442420 Course Description: Folklore remains an integral part of Russian culture. It figures into the literary works of Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tolstaya, Pelevin, in the music of Mussorgsky, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, and in various filmic adaptations. Introduction to Russian Folklore will provide students with a background not only in Russian folk beliefs and the major tales, but also in the history of folklore analysis. Students will be introduced to various folktales collected in the 19th century, as well as the literary, musical, and filmic versions of folktales of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. The course introduces different theoretical approaches to folklore, providing the students with an arsenal of interpretive methodologies. Key questions that will be asked will include: What is folklore? How have folktales changed? Why do folktales and folkloric figures remain so popular today (see American TV shows like Grimm, Once Upon a Time, and Game of Thrones, or the recent Beauty and the Beast or even The Shape of Water)? No Russian is required as all texts and films will be in English (or with English subtitles), however the originals will be provided upon request. Required Materials: All texts will be available at The Word Bookstore (469 Milton St, Montreal, QC, H2X 1W3).
