I know a lot of people wanted to know why I chose L'apres Midi d'un Faune instead of Printemps on the first poll. Honestly I'd want to see both, but it was the Rudolf Nureyev's Faune tween me fell in love with when it was newly filmed. Rite of Spring didn't speak to me until I was a little older. It was arbitrary, and Printemps was always going to end up on a later poll. The enthusiasm for it was heart warming.

** London After Midnight is particularly lamented lost media so it gets it's own slot.

*** These are: Mily Balakirev, César Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Alexander Borodin. They did not fit in the slot.

On this postcard from 1899 we see the tenor Anton Sekar-Roschansky (1863-1952) as Iwan Lykow in the world premiere the opera “The Tsar's Bride” by N. Rimski-Korsakow. The performance took place in the Russian private opera in the Solodownimov Theater in Moscow. The singer was one of the most important voices at that time and also sang the title role in the world premiere of the opera “Sadko” by the same composer in 1898.

eastern european classical music composers absolutely have my soul- they have produced/created such beautiful tunes. tchaikovsky, rimsky-korsakov, chopin, stravinsky, liszt, rachimanov- every piece of theirs strikes into my soul like a wave crashing into the rocky ocean cliffs. the passion, the love and loss, the emotion within each piece is like no other to me. especially tchaikovsky!

The Mighty Handful

The Mighty Handful or ‘The Five’ were a qroup of five Russian composers—César Cui, Alexander Borodin, Mily Balakirev, Modest Mussorgsky, and Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov – who, in the 1860s, attempted to create a national school of Russian music, free of the influence of Italian opera, German lieder, and other western European forms.
