Great! Thanks everyone for learning Russian language and music! Who's the pianist? He's amazing! His part is very important for the success of the whole thing. Where did he study?

I like Tchaikovsky so much more than Mussorgsky. Mussorgsky was something of a Russian Wagner to me. Not that that's a bad thing, just that his music is incredibly heavy to me.

It starts at 9:32... Sounded like "Slava to the royal something"...
