Polovtsian Dances from Borodin's Prince Igor.

[jaehoonshim]

Whenever I listen to this theme melody, my imaginary eye fly to the boundless steppes with grass swinging by the wind, and Eurasian tribal tents silently belching smoke, and horses silently grazing by the tents. Borodin was truly a Eurasian dreamer. Only a Russian composer can come up with melody like this.

[Dr.K-yn]

Mr. Borodin was a enormously talented chemical scientist, but he is better known as a composer.
I've heard Polovtsian dance from Prince Igor as orchestral playing only. This wonderful performance drove me crazy.
Many thanks for your uploading.

Fly away on wings of wind
To native lands, our native song,
To there, where we sang you freely,
Where we were so carefree with you.
There, under sultry skies,
With bliss the air is full,
There, to the whisper of the sea, mountains doze in the clouds.
There, the sun shines so brightly,
Bathing [our] native mountains in color.
In the meadows, roses bloom luxuriously,
And nightingales sing in the green forests;
And sweet grape grows.
There is more carefree for you, song…
And so fly away there!

The dancing, the energy, costumes & scenery & of course the orchestra, singing & music ... all absolutely fabulous! Wow!

There is nothing but praise and admiration I felt by this world class production from the Kirov Ballet, to bringing this difficult operatic piece in such a virtuoso way to the viewers' pleasure.

항상 악기연주로만 듣다가 오페라로 들으니까 새롭다.. 노래 진짜 ㅈㄴ좋음 띵곡

[jnmdrake]

A fabulous production, such as only the Russians can create. The singing, dancing, costumes, stage production, all wonderfully executed, and of course Borodin’s marvellous music, with that incredibly beautiful first theme, all magnificently performed. Please Russia, stick to what you do so well and do not do what you do so horribly.

Einer der schönstem Musik der Welt, und die Inzinierung ist unglaublich

Everything about this performance is amazing. One for the ages!

[derkov]

I think when Borodin was writing this music, he heard Mozart's Turkish march and said, no guys, oriental music should sounds different!

Remarcable performance, let's wish everybody enjoy a nice classical traditional Sunday noon in music, ballet & theater artistic events, thank you sharing guys ❤🎉❤

Zkusím přidávat komentáře z Čech, a to v češtině. Tenhle balet je asi z Poloveckých tanců nejlepší. To se týká i hudby.

It was a joy to sing this piece. Amazing music!

[erlinaratnawulan]

Incredible performance along with incredible music.... Love it....

[bennettbullock]

What I love about this is how the dancers, earlier in the video, have this serene, concentrated expression on their face, which they eventually lose as their dance becomes more active, and then you see their faces brighten and become more lively. They've stopped performing, now they are just being the music. Incredible.

“The last political leader of the USSR came up to me and embraced me at this banquet which was to be my last in Moscow. He said ‘I know that it is true, that a man can have such deep abiding love for a country that is not his own, without loving his own, any less.” —

I have never been to the Ballet, but THIS would be the first, and maybe, only one I would wish to see
