Synopsis
Excerpt from Borodin and Liszt: Life and Works of a Russian Composer; Liszt, as Sketched in the Letters of Borodin
London drawing-room. Would he be told that we had no serious and representative composers worth discussion? Or learn that English music found its only true expression in the comic Operas of Sir Arthur Sullivan? Would he be taken to the Symphony Concerts or to the Music Halls? In short, would it be to Dr Hubert Parry, or to Mr Albert Chevalier, that he would be bidden to pay homage as the immediate representative of musical modernity in England We can but conjecture and pity the confusion of mind which would be almost certain to result from this method of picking up information on the spot. The summing up of the Russian ama teur was succinct, if one-sided Orchestral works by composers of the New School are occasionally given, but meet with poor success. Tschaikowsky is our most truly national glory.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and works of Alexander Borodin, a fascinating figure in the history of Russian music. The author traces Borodin's journey from his early musical training, influenced by the works of Haydn, Beethoven, and Mendelssohn, to his eventual emergence as a leading figure in the ââ Å"New Russian School.ââ  This school, which included other notable composers such as Balakireff, Cui, Rimsky-Korsakoff, and Moussorgsky, sought to break free from the dominance of Western musical traditions and establish a distinctly Russian musical voice. The book explores the unique challenges faced by Borodin, a gifted musician who also pursued a career in science and medicine, dedicating himself to both artistic expression and scientific research. Through intimate letters and personal anecdotes, the author illuminates Borodin's struggles to balance his dual passions and provides insights into the cultural climate of Russia during the 19th century, where the pursuit of art often intersected with social and political issues. The book offers a unique window into the creative world of a complex and talented individual, revealing how Borodinââ â¢s exceptional talents shaped the musical landscape of his time.
