Description:
As famed as Ravel for his Pavane is Alexander Borodin (1833 - 1887) for his Polovtsian Dances. Originally these dances were part of the opera Prince Igor - in the second act, the Polovtsian Khan uses these dances (among others) to entertain his captive, the Russian Prince Igor - but they were actually created in the orchestral form before the opera was performed. These virtuoso dances, with their raw, sensual sounds, illustrate the fascination of 19th century Russia with musical exotism. Belgian Brass Series is a series of pieces for brass ensemble (and percussion) that were originally arranged for the 'Belgian Brass' ensemble. The pieces cover a large portion of musical history, from Bach to Berlioz, from Mozart to Borodin. An exclusive series for professional ensembles!
