| Alexander Borodin 1833-1887 |
| |
Born: St. Petersburg (Russia), 31
Oct. 1833. Died: St. Petersburg, 17 Feb. 1887
Little of Borodin's music was heard in his lifetime. When he died quite suddenly
at the age of 53, he left behind most of an opera that he had been working on for
some 17 years. Thanks to its completion by Rimsky-Korsakov and Glazunov, Knyaz Igor
is now hailed as a masterpiece of Russian opera. Borodin was a chemist by profession.
In association with Balakirev, Mussorgsky, Cui, and Rimsky-Korsakov, he was considered
part of the Kuchka (Stassov's expression, variously translated as the Mighty Five,
Handful, Heap, and Bunch), and almost totally unknown as a musician outside of this
circle. His first opera was a complete disaster, being performed only once. His second
opera was never completed (Rimsky-Korsakov later used the idea) and his third involved
only a contribution of one act to a joint work with Mussorgsky, Cui, and Rimsky-Korsakov.
In Knyaz Igor he aimed at an operatic epic similar to Glinka's Ruslan i Lyudmila,
but he died before it was completed.
