Prince Igor

Album by Alexander Porfyrevich Borodin & Хор Большого театра & Симфонический оркестр Большого театра & Mark Ermler

Prince Igor is an opera by Russian composer Alexander Borodin, premiered in 1890. Musically it draws on Russian nationalist melodies, modal harmonies and folk-inspired orchestration with prominent choral and orchestral passages, and it is Borodin's final, partially unfinished stage work completed after his death that has been incorporated into the Russian operatic repertoire.
