Lesson Tutor: Classical Composer Biography: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Whether writing for the concert hall or for the opera house, few composers have ever produced a more brilliant and exotic body of orchestral music than Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov - Capriccio Espagnol, Op.34 But for Rimsky-Korsakov, the master of orchestral colour, who wrote rapturously in his autobiography of the colours and warmth of the southern night, the idea of Spain must have held a special allure. Capriccio Espagnol began as a projected "Fantasy on Spanish Themes" for violin and orchestra, but Rimsky rapidly concluded that he could do better justice to the melodies with a purely orchestral work – "the Spanish themes, of dance character, furnished me with rich material for employing colourful orchestral effects". The first violin does, however, have a prominent solo role in the finished Capriccio, as do the clarinet and harp. www.classicalnotes.co.uk /notes/rimsky1.html   (382 words)

Sleeve Notes - Rimsky-Korsakov: 'Antar' The version of the Antar story that came into the hands of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov was the one told by Osip Ivanovich Senkovsky, otherwise known as Baron Brambeus. Senkovsky, who lived from 1800 to 1859, is described in Cassell’s Encyclopaedia of World Literature as a ‘Russian journalist, editor and critic of the unscrupulous time-serving variety’ responsible for ‘many an unsavoury feature of Russian journalism’. In the Romance of Antar, again according to Epiphanius Wilson, ‘natural passion has full play, but nobility of character is taken seriously, and generosity and sensibility of heart are portrayed with truthfulness and naivety. www.hyperion-records.co.uk /notes/55137.html   (912 words)
