Polovtsian Dances
for solo violin and string quintetAlexander Borodin
arr. Roberto Di Marino
Recordeding on the CD Iwao Suite - La Campanella
Borodin, a brilliant composer in the little free time that his profession as a chemist allowed him, possessed the gift of expressing feelings and emotions with a single musical phrase.
In the Polovtsian Dances he gives the best of himself creating a succession of changing colors and rhythms, now lulling, now pressing.
In this enchanting suite the music transmits to us images of dancers engaged in a series of dances, now frenetic and wild, now languid and sensual.
