Suite from "The Nutcracker"
"Nocturne"
Polovtsian Dances from "Prince Igor"
RUSSIAN MASTERPIECES brings together two of Russia’s most beloved composers in a program of color, lyricism, and dramatic sweep. Tchaikovsky’s Suite from The Nutcracker and his expressive Nocturne reveal the composer’s gift for melody and orchestral imagination, while Borodin’s Polovtsian Dances from Prince Igor deliver rhythmic vitality and vivid Eastern color. Under the direction of Nicolas Flagello, these performances capture the richness and emotional immediacy of the Russian Romantic tradition.
