Excellent value
Pork Chop | Lisbon, Portugal | 01/20/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The audio, numbers, and performances of very good,

and the value outstanding, as you get almost everything

that Borodin, the composer, created in his career

on this dual release - more complete than the previous

DECCA version, as this one is expanded, of course.



I would recommend this release be coupled with the

other composers comprising the Magificient Five of Russia,

namely the Balakirev Vols 1 and 2 on Naxos, (very moody)

Cesar Cui (very nicely done) on Naxos, Mikhail Glinka conducted

by Vassily Sinaisky (amazing) and finally, Glazunov's

number with The Seasons and Violin Concerto.



In this way, the precursor of Igor Stravinsky's compositions

can be better understood, from the above Russian creators

of timeless music."
