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. -
RECORDINGS by NICOLAI GOLOVANOV Compiled by Brendan Wehrung
RECORDINGS BY NICOLAI GOLOVANOV Compiled by Brendan Wehrung The "Russian Furtwaengler" remains almost entirely unknown to record collectors of the West. Vagaries of sound reproduction, political climate and record distribution confined his admirers to a relative handful until the advent of the compact disc. This listing is offered as partial remedy for his neglect; it is by no means complete, but consists of recordings discovered in a close reading of The World's Encyclopedia of Recorded Music, and what has appeared in digital format (researched on the Internet).

The Celestial City Brought Down to Earth: Dmitry Tcherniakov's Interpretation Of
The celestial city brought down to earth: Dmitry Tcherniakov’s interpretation of Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera The Invisible city of Kitezh and the Maiden Fevroniya Francis Maes The great cultural flowering of fin de siècle Russia has been justifiably termed a Silver Age. Why a Silver and not a Golden Age? From the perspective of literature, the period may have lacked writers of the stature of Pushkin, Tolstoy or Dostoyevsky. From the broader perspective of the cultural field in its entirety, however, the Silver Age had no rival in any period of Russian cultural history. It has been compared to the great flowerings of Periclean Athens and Renaissance England.1 All artistic disciplines flourished; painting, sculpture, architecture, design, as well as literature, theater, dance and music. The Silver Age was also a period par excellence in which the artists, scientists, and scholars consciously endeavored to dispel all shadows of provincialism. Artists did not necessarily abandon their specifically Russian subject matter or stylistic peculiarities. On the contrary, they reveled in their world filled with the heroes of Russian legends, ethnographic customs and virtuosic folk ornamentation. However, they chose to incorporate these themes into cosmopolitan trends, such as l’art pour l’art aestheticism or symbolism. These cosmopolitan developments offered Russian artists new ways to incorporate Russian material into an international field of reference. Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov’s penultimate opera, The legend of the invisible city of Kitezh and the Maiden Fevroniya counts among the most precious manifestations of this development. Rimsky-Korsakov composed The legend of the invisible city of Kitezh and the Maiden Fevroniya in 1903-1904 after several unsuccessful attempts to shed his folkloristic and nationalistic profile. -
UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov the Antiquarian
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov the Antiquarian: The Narrativity of Diegetic Song in the Opera Sadko A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology by Jeffrey T. Riggs 2019 © Copyright by Jeffrey T. Riggs 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov the Antiquarian: The Narrativity of Diegetic Song in the Opera Sadko by Jeffrey T. Riggs Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Mitchell Bryan Morris, Chair Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov subtitled Sadko “an Opera-Bylina,” a gesture which both reveals his compositional approach, and gives the piece a sui generis designation as an operatic and folk-epic hybrid. The composer drew from an extraordinary range of textual and musical material to fashion Sadko, a work that is thoroughly imbued with references to Russian folk culture. His primary source texts were the Russian byliny: folk-epic poetry that had circulated orally for some seven centuries before being collected and transcribed in the nineteenth century. While Rimsky-Korsakov’s preoccupation with folklore represents a thematic continuation of his prior operas, his approach to his source material takes a decidedly antiquarian and philological turn in Sadko. ii Rimsky-Korsakov’s transmutation of the byliny into operatic form involved his development of a set of narrative strategies that approximate the storytelling conventions of the source texts. Rimsky-Korsakov includes multiple narrators in the opera who present Sadko’s tale through different narrative frames, chronotopes, and musical idioms. The arias of each narrator constitute moments of heightened narrativity, in which the events of the plot are condensed, refracted, retold, and foretold through the prism of diegetic song.
