These Dances from Alexander Borodin's 'Prince Igor' are overwhelmingly brilliant and irresistibly barbaric in the best Romantic crowd-pleasing manner particularly when performed with the original choral parts -SATB with Baritone solo and piano accompaniment.The Dances gained an unexpected popular currency when one of the more memorable tunes was transformed into the song 'Stranger in Paradise' as part of the Broadway musical Kismet. English version by Henry G. Chapman.

Leichte Bis Mittelschwere Arrangements Bekannter Russischer Opern und Ballette. Par DIVERS AUTEURS (ARR.BROOKER DAVID). 'Big works made small”. Those four words completely capture the essence of this amazing album of arrangements for two violins by David Brooker. It harks back to the days before sound recording when many people could only experience the major composers' orchestral music in reductions for chamber ensembles - indeed, many composers made such arrangements themselves. These arrangements will both entertain and challenge intermediate to advanced players but the technical problems are designed to be approachable and enjoyable rather than daunting. The contents cover a wide range of Russian romantic music from the 19th and 20th centuries, taking in the ultimate lyricism of Borodin's Nocturne, through the fireworks of Khachaturian's Sabre Dance to the musical athletics of Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights, better known these days as the theme tune to 'The Apprentice”. The arrangements would be ideal pieces to open or close a violin lesson - even more so as an unexpected encore in an informal concert. Eleven full-length arrangements of well-known pieces make this album fantastic value for money./ Recueil / 2 Violons

Description Widely regarded as the culmination of French romanticism on the organ, Widor's symphonies include some of the most frequently performed and recorded works in the modern organ repertoire. Most of these symphonies - so called to emphasise the orchestral wealth of timbres offered by the new French organs - were written specifically to exploit the capacities of the modern Cavaille-Coll organ, especially the rich-toned five-keyboard instrument at St-Sulpice in Paris. Presented here in two inexpensive (this being the first), well-made volumes they offer a splendid resource for organists and all music lovers.
