About this release
Detailing the works of one of Russia's greatest masters and full of fine, often authentically Russian performances, this fascinating 25 CD release is guaranteed to provide hours of pleasurable listening.

From the orchestral virtuosity of Scheherazade to the poetic beauty of The Snow Maiden, the compilation contains all of the composer's most famous works. It also features many compositions which have not held
the stage, or concert hall outside Russia, as well as they deserve, such as the littleperformed String Sextet and Quintet for Piano and Winds of 1876. The composer's three symphonies also make an appearance, as do many of his songs - ones that count Tolstoy and Pushkin among their authors.

Perhaps most importantly the set features several of Rimsky's operas, from the lesserknown, carnivalesque May Night and Mlada to the late masterpieces, The Invisible City of Kitezh and The Golden Cockerel, which respectively assimilate Wagnerian innovation and anticipate Stravinskian economy of idiom.

Featuring folksong, fairy tale and bewitching orchestration, this release contains many magical moments, especially in the operas. It exposes all facets of the Rimsky-Korsakov's character and records an important part of performance history including some of Russia's greatest singers and ensembles.

Other information:
- A tribute to one of the most original and "most Russian" Russian composers, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
- Performed by: Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, Leningrad Philharmonic, Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra, Oistrakh Trio, Loris Tjeknavorian, Yondani Butt, Evgeny Mravinsky, Evgeny Svetlanov and many others.
- This 25 CD set offers a generous selection of his works: the complete orchestral works (of course including the famous Scheherazade!), some rare chamber music, the complete songs, Cantatas and six of the most famous operas.
- New liner notes written by the Russian music scholar and journalist David Nice.
