GERALD KASSEN (Bass-baritone)
The ballet at the end of Act II of Prince Igor is one of the most remarkable parts of the whole opera. The scene is laid in the camp of the Polovtsi, the Tartar raiders, who have captured the Russian prince, Igor, and his son. To amuse his noble prisoners the chivalrous Polovtsian chieftain arranges a great festival.
The suite of dances, running into each other without a break, contains some of Borodin's loveliest, most powerful, and most original music: haunting, swaying maidens' dances, dances of naked savagery by boys and young men, and great outbursts of barbaric splendour when he whole company dances. Owing to Borodin's premature death, the music had to be orchestrated by Rimsky-Korsakov, who lavished on it the most glowing colours of his unrivalled palette.

The 'Tragic' Overture
Brahms's ' Tragic' Overture, which was written shortly after the ' Academic Festival ' Overture, was completed in the summer of 1880. In the following January, on the occasion of Brahms's receiving the honorary doctor's degree from the Breslau University, the Breslau Orchestral Society gave the first performance of these two new overtures.
In a letter to his publisher Brahms told him about a ' very merry Academic Festival Overture, with Gaudeamus and all sorts of things ; ... Having been given this opportunity I could not forbear to satisfy my melancholy disposition by writing an Overture for a tragedy as well '. However, this very powerful and dramatic overture has no programme other than the expression of the mood that the title suggests.
The Violin Concerto
Brahms's Violin Concerto in D is one of the three or four greatest concertos written for the instrument. It was composed in 1878 when Brahms was forty-five years of age. The first performance took place at a Gewandhaus Concert at Leipzig on January i, 1879, with Joachim as soloist and Brahms as conductor. Seven weeks later Joachim played the Concerto at the Crystal Palac; with great success. Joachim had much to do with the fashioning of the solo part, for while Brahms was writing it he was continually asking for Joachim's expert advice on the most effective way of laying out certain passages from the technical point of view of the virtuoso.
