The Miserly Knight

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Государственная академическая симфоническая капелла России & Valery Kuzmich Polyansky

The Miserly Knight is a one-act opera by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninov, premiered in 1906. The work uses late-Romantic Russian musical language with dense orchestral colours and declamatory vocal writing, and it stands among Rachmaninov's early operatic efforts as a compact, psychologically driven setting of a Pushkin text.
