Alexander Borodin In the steppes of Central Asia Orchestre national de l'O.R.T.F., conductor: Charles Munch Prince Igor Hamburg Symphony Orchestra, Conductor: Pierre Monteux "In the Steps of Central Asia" is a symphonic poem composed by Alexander Borodin. Inspired by his travels through Central Asia, Borodin sought to capture the essence of the region's landscapes, culture, and musical traditions through his composition. This piece embodies Borodin's fascination with the exotic and mystic allure of Central Asia. The composition begins with a gentle and mysterious introduction, akin to the vast and enigmatic Central Asian landscapes. As the music progresses, Borodin skillfully incorporates a variety of melodic themes, evoking the vibrant and diverse cultures of the region. The piece builds up to a powerful crescendo, symbolizing the energetic spirit and dynamic nature of Central Asia. Borodin's orchestration in "In the Steps of Central Asia" is a testament to his mastery of blending Western musical techniques with Eastern influences. He seamlessly integrates traditional Central Asian melodies, rhythms, and instruments into a Western orchestral framework, creating a harmonious fusion that transports listeners to the heart of the region. "Prince Igor": "Prince Igor" is an opera composed by Alexander Borodin, although it remained unfinished at the time of his death. Inspired by Russian history and folklore, the opera tells the story of Prince Igor, a legendary figure from the 12th century. Despite its incomplete state, "Prince Igor" is revered for its beautiful melodies, lyrical arias, and stirring choral sections. The opera showcases Borodin's ability to craft memorable and emotionally charged music. From the passionate arias sung by the opera's characters to the powerful choral arrangements, "Prince Igor" captures the grandeur and dramatic intensity of Russian opera. Borodin's gift for melody and his ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through his music are evident throughout the composition. Borodin, as a member of "The Mighty Handful," a group of Russian composers dedicated to creating a distinctive nationalistic style, infused "Prince Igor" with elements of Russian folklore and traditional melodies. This infusion of Russian musical heritage, combined with Borodin's own compositional style, contributes to the opera's significance as a symbol of Russian cultural identity. The musical works of Alexander Borodin, including "In the Steps of Central Asia" and "Prince Igor," are testaments to his innovative spirit and artistry as a composer. Through these compositions, Borodin successfully merged Western and Eastern influences, creating music that captivates listeners with its evocative melodies, powerful orchestrations, and cultural significance. As we continue to explore and appreciate the works of Borodin, we gain a deeper understanding of his contributions to the world of classical music and his lasting legacy as a Russian composer.

Christian Dior | ‘Prince Igor’ | c. 1947 ——— Dior held a life long fascination with Russian opera, ballet, literature and decorative arts. It is evident here in one of his earliest creations in 1947. The ‘Prince Igor’ coat dress taps into the Russian fantasy with its rich emerald velvet and deep leopard cuffs all styled beautifully with the lines of the iconic New Look.

In my ongoing exploration of Russian music, I decided to listen to Alexander Borodin (1833- 1887). It turns out that I have heard this theme from “Prince Igor”, but never knew the composer until now. What amazes me more is that Borodin was a Chemist and Physicist by trade, and composed in his free time. He joins a long list of composers who had other jobs, partially because music was and still remains an uncertain trade.
I have read of men like Bach’s predecessor in Leipzig, Johann Kuhnau, who was a lawyer and mathematician in addition to a composer. So it should not come as a surprise that Borodin had many skills. This should prove that nobody is either wholly scientific or wholly creative. Many of the greatest figures in classical musical history were both!
