Borodin - Prince Igor, Act II. Dance of the Polovtsian Maidens & Cavatina of Konchakovna

[5610winston]

The "DISLIKE" didn't have the balls to leave an explanation as to why he disliked it.

Borodin had a command of melody, orchestral color, and emotional drama unlike any other composer before or since, regardless of training, and these selections are among his finest!

I read that he had written as much music for "Igor" as made it into Wagner's "Ring", but died before completing it. This left completion and editing to others who didn't understand his vision. Still outstanding music, though.
