Distant horn drones, barely audible strings @16:14. There's a perfect example of why Rimsky-Korsakov was considered a master of orchestration. Great recording production on this as well. Until the clapping at the end, I thought it was a studio recording.
yes, you are probably right ! But I am glad Rachmaninoff "stole" parts of Rimsky-Korsakow's works because a life without his "Symphonic Dances" would not have been worth living !
Evokes memories of a Hamburg production, late 60’s, conducted by Kertesz. Nostalgia in old age.
I keep listening and listening to this -- extraordinary, beautiful music. Thanks for sharing!!
Wonderful
There’s often a kernel of truth in legends and still I couldn’t find it - so thanks Rimsky for what I think I know!❤
Moving sensitive rendition! Bravi! And thank you! 👏
definetely underrated piece of classical music!
A masterpiece my favourite opera suit
I love you; thank you so much

Passage around 9 minute mark seems to have inspired a passage in Rachmaninoff Symphonic dance 45 :)

@@arthurbaumberger936 -- Indeed! BRAVO from Acapulco!
The second part begins at 4:51, the third at 12:44
Magnificent, thank you. Who are the performers (conductor, orchestra)?
I believe it is Evgeny Svetlanov/orchestra of the Bolshoi Theatre.
Prague Symphony Orchestra, Maestro Vaclav Smetacek
The conductor may have been Alexander Vedernikov. It would be nice if the poster had specified. @@paullewis2413
