Borodin, Alexander Symfony no.1 3th mvt Andante

[KhagarBalugrak]

This is very beautiful and rich. Borodin is at his best when writing lyrically, passionately and with his heart on his sleeve.

I would like to hear the other parts - so if it is possible it would be nice when you post the other movements... thank you!

[shadowrun45]

Thank you for posting.

Do you have the other movements of this symphony, too?

[HenriVieuxtemps]

Yes, but this is the best part I think.

It is said, "Scratch a Russian and you'll find a Tatar." Borodin used the "oriental" modes in traditional western European music forms seamlessly. Although Balakirev reviewed every note Borodin wrote in this work, it is clear that the pupil was the greater talent.

But Borodin was also the most "western" out of the mighty five. Also Balakarev himself was a talented composer, his symphony no.1 is very impressive. I agree though Balakirev lacked the inspiration of Borordin. I've heard it said that "Nobody wrote so little music and remains immortal". I'll try to find the source of the quote.
