Emmanuel Tjeknavorian and the Tonkünstler-Orchester present a captivating journey through the orchestral works of three Russian composers: Mikhail Glinka, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and Alexander Borodin. Released on May 7, 2021, this album offers a rich and diverse collection of pieces that showcase the composers' unique styles and the orchestra's virtuosity.
The album opens with Glinka's "Ruslan and Lyudmila: Ouvertüre," a dramatic and energetic overture that sets the stage for the rest of the album. It continues with Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade," a four-movement orchestral suite that tells the story of the legendary Persian queen. Each movement is a masterpiece in its own right, from the sweeping "The Sea and Sinbad's Ship" to the tender "The Young Prince and The Young Princess."
Borodin's "Prince Igor: Polowetzer Tänze" closes the album, a lively and rhythmic dance that is sure to leave listeners energized. Throughout the album, Tjeknavorian's conducting is precise and expressive, bringing out the best in the Tonkünstler-Orchester. The sound quality is excellent, with each instrument clearly audible and the overall mix well-balanced.
This album is a testament to the enduring appeal of Russian classical music and the skill of the performers. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to impress.
