Why Tchaikovsky, Glinka, Borodin and Rachmaninoff are the Best of Russia.

Passionate, fiery, lustful, vengeful, sweet, relaxing… Russian Classical and Romantic music invokes a range of emotions like no other style.

Mikhail Glinka is considered to be the Father of Russian music, his passionate operas potentially marking the beginning of musical nationalism in Russia.

Alexander Borodin a Romantic composer and chemist, was part of ‘The Five’ – a group dedicated to bring uniquely Russian music to the world. His string quartets and operas perhaps do not have the same style as Tchaikovsky’s; however, his knowledge of chemistry seems to have carried forward into his artistry of music.

Sergei Rachmaninoff was a renowned Russian composer - the last great figure of the tradition of Russian Romanticism and a leading piano virtuoso of his time. His works were greatly influenced by another Russian composer that he would listen to when he was young, and finally collaborated with when he enrolled at the Moscow Conservatory – none other than the most known of all Russian composers – Tchaikovsky!

And of course Tchaikovsky’s works embody passion, drama and murderous intrigue – especially with his popular ballets ‘The Nutcracker’ and ‘Swan Lake’.

I hope you enjoy my pick of The Best of Russian Composers – Glinka, Borodin, Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky.
