A Russian PhD in Chemistry can write music that speaks directly to my soul. Miracles still exist.
I learned about Borodin as a chemist long before I learned he was a composer. In undergrad school my research professor suggested I continue his work with aldol chemistry for my senior project. Read up on him and his work and decided that my interests lay elsewhere, so chose another project ,
Russia has so much to offer, composers, scientists, rich history
Borodin provided the following description in a note to the score to the Steppes:
I worked outdoors in the Steppes of Wyoming for 5 years and this music captures the mood of the weather perfectly.
The second or third LP I bought when I was 12 years old had these two pieces. Almost 70 years later they still bring me comfort and pleasure. Thanks for sharing this here.
because of this music i went on a trip to Uzbekistan
Musica divina !!!!! Grazie di ❤
I am 64 and was introduced to this sublime and incomparably atmospheric work at 16 through this recording. Still my favorite one, Bravissimo
Borodin's In the Steppes of Central Asia and Polovtsian dances were among the reasons I long ago took an interest in the history and ethnography of that region, which much later led me to study the local languages and register as a student of Central Asian studies. I am by now retired from my work at a museum and still going on studying these fascinating cultures of the steppe nomads. All this thanks to my mother who used to play some of Prince Igor's pieces at the piano, we children religiously listening to them.
I may be American by birth, but my parents were born in Russia (pre-Revolution), as were countless ancestors. How this music stirs my old soul and connects me to a magnificent past. Thank you.
Questa è una melodia che parla al cuore,alla mente e all'anima. Dolce malinconica triste eppure è un momento esaltante per il nostro sentire tutti i sensi e tutto il corpo vibrano per questa melodia antica e giovane insieme. Ci ricorda che siamo nati per essere liberi e per aiutarci l'un l'altro. Non dobbiamo essere Bruti ma esseri umani capaci di amare e di fare il bene.
This is one of Borodins finest compositions, just the name alone sends shivers down my spine.
Russian music composers are great. All of them.
This piece always breaks my heart for some reason....so moving.
We are all broken, lost in an unpredictable world, in need of compassion and hope. This music gives us this hope, that somehow through all the mayhem, misinformation and hate, there is also beauty and love. Close your eyes when you listen to this piece. You will experience it as never before.
This music has like a healing power.
There's just something about this music that teleports my mind to earth's natural wonders - Altai Mountains, Grand Canyon, Eurasian Steppes, Yarlung Tsangpo. This world is so vast, and there's so much more beauty than we'll ever know.
Thank you for telling me about the shows you watch on TV. My wife and I watch PBS and will only watch British programming. The stories are great and the actors rotate their perfomances, and play different parts. Their versatility is incredible; they are better than ALL American actors. Thank you to England for enriching our lives.
Borodin's music makes my heart sing.
