Vladimir ZivaAbout
The Poem about Aleksey, the Man of God Op.20 originally appeared as a chorale in his opera 'The Maid of Pskov', and Rimsky‐Korsakov later created a separate work from it. The Song of Oleg the Wise Op.58 is written in a marital style, as befits the subject matter of the ruler and warrior Oleg; Switezianka Op.44, a cantata for two soloists, is of a similar style.
Also on the disc is From Homer Op.60, a tantalising glimpse of what might have been if Rimsky‐Korsakov had continued to write his opera based on Homer’s Odyssey. The work is made up of the intended orchestral introduction and opening chorus of the opera. It depicts the storm that washes Odysseus onto the shores of Phaecia, and shows the composer’s talent for writing for female voices, including a trio (soprano, mezzo‐soprano, contralto) and a female chorus.
The cantatas feature the Chorus of the Moscow Academy of Choral Art and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, as well as a host of accomplished soloists.
Recorded in 2001.
