Classical Music Playlist, February 9, 2022
Created at the same time as his opera “Prince Igor,” from which he contributed some of the opera’s unused heroic musical ideas, Alexander Borodin’s 2nd Symphony was noted by a music critic at the time as having “the flavor of an ancient Russian epic.” Borodin’s colorful and grand 2nd Symphony is today's Midday Masterpiece at 2:00 pm.
