Mussorgsky’s orchestral music and opera creations not only profoundly demonstrate the richness and diversification of Russian folk music elements, but also boldly explore for various colour applications in melody.
In the concert on April 16th, under the baton of Valery Gergiev, the Mariinsky Orchestra performed Overture to Khovanshchina, Night on Bald Mountain, Songs and Dances of Death, and Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky.
“I have to say that now NCPA is one of the most important institutions in the world. I know how difficult it is to do opera, concert, exhibitions, lectures, films, and festivals... It’s not just opera. It’s much bigger. And also, the public has changed completely”, Valery Gergiev said after the concert on April 16th.
On April 17th, Valery Gergiev led the Mariinsky Orchestra and Chorus to present an amazing concert version of Khovanshchina, along with 15 singers from the Mariinsky Theatre.
In the chorus Dawn on the Moscow River, ballads of the Russian folk music style strode over the historical barriers, and distinctly overwhelmed all audiences with the fascinating Russian cultural atmosphere.
