Ivan Susanin, A life for the Tsar

Album by Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka & Симфонический оркестр Большого театра & Alexander Melik-Pashayev & Maxim Mikhailov & Natalia Spiller & Georgi Nelepp & Elizaveta Antonova

Ivan Susanin (A Life for the Tsar) is an opera by Mikhail Glinka, premiered in 1836. The work blends Romantic-era orchestration with Russian folk-derived melodies, expansive choral writing and dramatic scenes, and it played a pivotal role in establishing a distinctly Russian national style in 19th-century opera and in Glinka's development as a composer of large-scale stage works.
