Like others of the Russian Nationalist composers, Rimsky-Korsakov came from a well-to-do family, and was brought up in the countryside among the folk music which was to influence him strongly. Composing became an all-absorbing interest during a term of naval service, and in 1871 he was offered the post of Professor of Composition at the St Petersburg Conservatory. It was there that he wrote the 15 operas which form the major part of his output: some of this is broadcast during the week.
