When Borodin died in 1887, leaving his musical affairs in chaos, Glazunov stepped in to undertake the huge task of completing Borodin's opera Prince Igor. Today Donald Macleod looks at the fashion for orientalism prevalent in Russian musical circles at the time, the profound effect the entrepreneur Mitrofan Belyayev had on Glazunov's career, and the controversy aroused by the composer's newly acquired skills as a conductor.

BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, conductor Jerzy Maksymiuk
String Quartet No 4 in A minor, Op 64 Shostakovich Quartet
