donewithit10,

what they meant by IV (1/2) is that this was only half of it.

but other that that i really liked this orchestra this is my first time listening to them and i thought that they were excellent. i really like the way that the conductor was and the violin solo i didnt like too much but ill get over it.lol. and i really loved all the girl bass players. that is very rare.lol. overall i rate this orchestra10

school,even if he was always original and not banal. This interpretation sounds me like all eastern examples. Tempo too fast,nothing to say on technic,bad interpretation of russian soul and batons mouvements (of conductor) too nervous and sharp for a music that really don't need it.

common combinations,like woodwinds with under trilling brass,or trombone with piccolo. Is also important cause is one of the greatest examples of the work of the National russian school,that tried to diffuse in the world,the russian traditional themes and sonority,although this is not russian story at all.

ok thebn this music playing in my hearts

korsakov live in our hearts forever
