Im playing a lot of “the five”.
Ive been a Rimsky-Korsakov fan since I was a kid.
“Scheherazade” was on my track exercise mix tape for my walkman in college. (also Suppe and Bach).
Now Im non-stop Balakirev, Mussorgsky, Borodin.
When you get to
Rachmaninoff, the most gorgeous and soul-searching of them all, you'll have arrived (as a youth he rubbed elbows with the likes of Rimsky-Korsakov and Borodin and actually collaborated in some of their compositions)......
