Title : Mikhail Glinka - Russian and Ludmilla (Ruslan and Lyudmila) Overture

Date : 1842

From Wikipedia ,

Ruslan and Lyudmila (Russian: Руслан и Людмила, Ruslan i Lyudmila) is an opera in five acts (eight tableaux) composed by Mikhail Glinka between 1837 and 1842. The opera is based on the 1820 poem of the same name by Aleksandr Pushkin. The multi-authored Russian libretto was written by Valerian Shirkov, Nestor Kukolnik, and N. A. Markevich, among others. Pushkin's untimely death in the famous duel prevented him from writing the libretto himself as planned.
The premiere took place in St. Petersburg on 27 November (Old Style) 1842 at the Bolshoy Theater. Four years later, the opera was given its Moscow premiere at the Bolshoy Theatre in 1846.

  • Love it when the cello's come in with the melody the first time! I've analyzed the music of the score so much (the original Russian score, granted I couldn't actually read the Russian notes) and I absolutely love it! Mikhael Ivanovich Glinka was a true master!
