1 gen 1836 anni - A Life for the Tsar

Descrizione:

patriotic-heroic tragic opera in four acts with an epilogue by Glinka.

The first school of significant Russian composers dates to 1836 and the premiere of
Glinka’s A Life for the Tsar. Glinka was singled out as the beginning of Russian nationalism because he used folk
style in a spirit of nationalism, not peasant folksiness. Glinka also mastered advanced international compositional technique—he was more cosmopolitan than his Russian contemporaries. The subject matter of A Life for the Tsar fits perfectly with the aims of Tsar Nikolai I. Glinka’s score for A Life for the Tsar is a significant reason why he is considered the
founding father of Russian composers.
