The Red Poppy

Album by Reinhold Moritzevich Glière & Санкт-Петербургский государственный академический симфонический оркестр & Andrei Anikhanov

The Red Poppy is a ballet by Reinhold Glière, premiered in 1927. Musically it blends late-Romantic orchestration and dance forms with touches intended to evoke Chinese colour and Soviet-era revolutionary themes, and it stands as one of Glière's major stage works from the late 1920s reflecting his engagement with the cultural context of the Soviet period.
