Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908)
"His special contribution to music is the evocation of a fantastic world, half-real, half-supernatural, as distinctive and delightful as the world of the Grimms' fairy-tales or Alice's Wonderland."
(Gerald Abraham )
This week's programmes explore Rimsky-Korsakov's fantastic world, with the help of the fairy-tales and legends that sparked his imagination. Today his orchestral works Skazka
(Fairy-tale) and Antarare introduced by the Pushkin poem and the Arabian legend that inspired them. Narrator Joanna Wake.
