A rare look at the life and music of renowned Russian composer Nikolai RimskyKorsakovDuring his lifetime, Nikolai RimskyKorsakov (18441908) was a composer whose work had great influence not only in his native Russia but also internationally. While he remains wellknown in Russiawhere many of his fifteen operas and various orchestral pieces are still in the standard repertoirevery little of his work is performed in the West today beyond Scheherezade and arrangements of The Flight of the Bumblebee. In Western writings, he appears mainly in the context of the Mighty Handful, a group of five Russian composers to which he belonged at the outset of his career. RimskyKorsakov and His World finally gives the composer center stage and due attention.In this collection, RimskyKorsakovs major operas, The Snow Maiden, Mozart and Salieri, and The Golden Cockerel, receive multifaceted exploration and are carefully contextualized within the wider Russian culture of the era. The discussion of these operas is accompanied and enriched by the composers letters to Nadezhda Zabela, the distinguished soprano for whom he wrote several leading roles. Other essays look at more general aspects of RimskyKorsakovs work and examine his farreaching legacy as a professor of composition and orchestration, including his impact on his most famous pupil Igor Stravinsky.The contributors are Lidia Ader, Leon Botstein, Emily Frey, Marina FrolovaWalker, Adalyat Issiyeva, Simon Morrison, Anna Nisnevich, Olga Panteleeva, and Yaroslav Timofeev.The Bard Music FestivalBard Music Festival 2018RimskyKorsakov and His WorldBard CollegeAugust 1012 and August 1719, 2018
