A Tribute to Russia's "Mighty Handful"

Uploaded by earthatic on Aug 16, 2009
Hello
My latest video is a tribute to a group of five composers from Russia called "The Mighty Handful". These composers were: Alexander Borodin, Cesar Cui, Mily Balakirev, Modest Mussorgsky and Nikolai Rimsky - Korsakov. The video contains excerpts from my favourites of their pieces. My favourite from this group is Rimsky - Korsakov, please tell me your opinion!
Please rate and comment! Enjoy!
This video is dedicated to 0OoFACUoO0.

@Nuker1337 Rhapsodie Espagnole

What is the name of the specific Polovetsian dance played in the vid? I think that it's the most beautiful piece ever written.
-
I thought Capriccio espagnole was composed by Ravel?
-
I adore the mighty handful! Balakirev and Rimsky-Korsakov could have really mean-spirited personalities though... but their music is great!
-
nice,balakirev is underrated

Great video! Thank you for uploading this! My very fav is Rimsky - Korsakov for his Scheherazade and Borodin with his Polovtsian Dances, but Mussorgsky - for his Night!

@jhlee10144 Stravinsky was not a member of "The Mighty Handful", he came a bit later, but don't worry, if you like Stravinsky, there will be a lot of his music on my channel soon! ;)
