Polovtsian Dances from 'Prince Igor' | BORODIN | Arr. Luke Faulkner

Available to stream on -

So catchy is this Classical melody it reached No. 1 in the UK pop charts in 1955 as "Stranger in Paradise" (Tony Bennett). This is my piano arrangement of the original "Gliding Dance of the Maidens", part of the Polovtsian Dances from the end of act 2 of Borodin's opera Prince Igor.

Wonderful arrangement from Borodin's opera Prince Igor.
Congratulations Luke ! 🌻
I hope to see you soon with a recital at Wigmore Hall in London. Last year I wrote information about you in the chat by Wigmore Hall - Youtube channel and I don't understand why such a great pianist and composer like you is not invited to Wigmore Hall.

Oh, my . . . this is one of my favorite pieces, the kind for which I will pause whatever I'm doing to listen. You've breathed new life into it, and I may not achieve anything today for listening to it repeatedly! Thank you. 😊
