I know precious little of Cui's music. In fact, when I think of the Five, his is the name that I invariably struggle to remember. And yet I've really enjoyed my first listen to this composition, no doubt due as much to its having been orchestrated by Glazunov as anything else. Thanks for the opportunity to hear it.
Thanks to the person who uploaded this Suite here by Cesar Cui, last time I listen to this work I was in my late teens, ( the mid 1990's'), I am 45 now and as a CD collector, to me the music by Cesar Cui has been hard to find. I had managed to listen to most of the 19th century Russian nationalistic composers known as the 'Russian Five' or the 'Mighty Handful', except for Cesar Cui.
Late to the game here! I could never access much of Cui's output in physical media form, even after I began earning enough to collect in early 1980s. I had read critiques then that described him as the laziest and most shallow member of the Mighty 5. Oh and Glazunov had been described to me, back in those days, as a cheap knockoff of Tchaikovsky. Gad, the rampant snobbery. Underrated, IMHO. Grateful to discover these works here and now, Rodders and co. May there never be a G5 solar flare or a human induced EMP that would wipe out these online archives. Many thanks. BGC
