Digital Booklet

|||||
“[The] Tsar's Bride… thrills with the riding rhythms of Ivan's rapacious followers, the oprichniki; Sinaisky takes it at a spacious but still exciting pace. The gentler but richly-hued aspects of Russian folklore in the tone-poem Legend, derived from Pushkin's Russlan i Lyudmila, Sinaisky captures with sparkle and energy, likewise the dancing, lyrical Sinfonietta on Russian Themes.”
- BBC Music Magazine
“Rimsky's vivid music gets a rare outing in this exhilarating programme. The familiar Capriccio espagnole is also splendidly presented: Sinaisky's performance is expansive, warmly relaxed… the closing Fandango produces a burst of exhilarating bravura.”
- Gramophone
This release presents a range of colourful orchestral works by Rimsky-Korsakov, displaying the Russian composer's musical diversity. Performed by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra under Vassily Sinaisky it includes overtures to the operas The Tsar's Bride and Pskovityanka (The Maid of Pskov), as well as the rousing Capriccio espagnol and rarely-recorded Sinfonietta on Russian Themes, Op. 31.
