Double Lives
With Richard Baker.
1: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov came from a distinguished naval family, so it seemed natural that he would follow them to sea. During his years at naval college he met Balakirev and, later, Musorgsky, Cui and Borodin, with whom he became part of the Russian Five or Mighty Handful. For a while he played both roles until, when he was nearly 30, he hung up his uniform for good. Including: Rimsky-Korsakov Scheherazade
