Barcarole (Offenbach) - The Philadelphia Orchestra - Venice by gondola


By Giulia Zarantonello
A barcarolle (from French, also barcarole; originally, Italian barcarola or barcaruola, from barca boat)[1] is a traditional folk song sung by Venetian gondoliers, or a piece of music composed in that style. In classical music, two of the most famous barcarolles are Jacques Offenbachs «Belle nuit, ô nuit damour», from his opera The Tales of Hoffmann; and Frédéric Chopins «Barcarolle in F-sharp major» for solo piano.

Aleksandr Borodin - Polovetsian Dances from "Prince Igor"


The Polovtsian Dances (or Polovetsian Dances) are perhaps the best known selections from Alexander Borodins opera Prince Igor (1890). They are often played as a stand-alone concert piece. Borodin was the original composer, but the opera was left unfinished at his death and was subsequently completed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Alexander Glazunov. In the opera the dances are performed with chorus, but concert performances often omit the choral parts.

Conductor: Herbert von Karajan

Orchestra: Berliner Philharmoniker

The Best of Prokofiev


The Best of Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev (23 April 1891 — 5 March 1953)

Prokofiev is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century. His works include five piano concertos, nine completed piano sonatas and seven symphonies, and such widely heard works as the March from The Love for Three Oranges, the suite Lieutenant Kijé, the ballet Romeo and Juliet — from which «Dance of the Knights» is taken — and Peter and the Wolf.

A graduate of the St Petersburg Conservatory, Prokofiev initially made his name as an iconoclastic composer-pianist, achieving notoriety with a series of ferociously dissonant and virtuosic works for his instrument and with his first two piano concertos. Prokofievs first major success breaking out of the composer-pianist mould was with his purely orchestral Scythian Suite, compiled from music originally composed for a ballet commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev of the Ballets Russes; Diaghilev commissioned three further ballets from Prokofiev — Chout, Le pas dacier and The Prodigal Son — which at the time of their original production were all highly successful. Prokofievs greatest interest, however, was opera, and he composed several works in that genre, including The Gambler and The Fiery Angel. Prokofievs one relative success in that genre during his lifetime was The Love for Three Oranges, composed for Chicago Opera and subsequently performed over the following decade in Europe and Russia.

After the Revolution, Prokofiev left Russia with the official blessing of the Soviet minister Anatoly Lunacharsky, and he lived in the United States, then Germany, then Paris, during which time he married a Spanish singer, Carolina Codina, with whom he had two sons. Because of the increasing economic deprivation of Europe, Prokofiev returned to Russia in 1936. He enjoyed some success there — notably with Lieutenant Kijé, Peter and the Wolf, Romeo and Juliet, and perhaps above all with Alexander Nevsky. The Nazi invasion of the USSR spurred him to compose his most ambitious work, an operatic version of Leo Tolstoys War and Peace. In 1948 Prokofiev was criticized for «anti-democratic formalism», and with his income severely curtailed was forced to compose Stalinist works such as On Guard for Peace. However, he also enjoyed personal and artistic support from a new generation of Russian performers, notably Sviatoslav Richter and Mstislav Rostropovich: for the latter he composed his Symphony-Concerto, whilst for the former he composed his ninth piano sonata.

Bizet/Guiraud - Carmen Suites 1


Georges Bizet (25 October 1838 – 3 June 1875), registered at birth as Alexandre César Léopold Bizet, was a French composer of the romantic era. Best known for his operas in a career cut short by his early death, Bizet achieved few successes before his final work, Carmen, which has become one of the most popular and frequently performed works in the entire opera repertoire.
