Symphonies no. 1 / no. 2 "Bogatyrskaya" / no.3

Album by Alexander Porfyrevich Borodin & Evgeny Fyodorovich Svetlanov & Государственный академический симфонический оркестр России

Symphonies Nos. 1–3 are orchestral works by Russian composer Alexander Borodin, composed between the 1860s and 1889 (the Third Symphony was completed posthumously in 1889). They blend Romantic-era orchestration with Russian nationalist melodies, modal harmonies and broad, lyrical themes, tracing Borodin's development from early symphonic experiments to a mature voice within the late-19th-century Russian symphonic tradition.
