Alexander Borodin: Polovetzian Dance And Chorus (Prince Igor)

These Dances from Alexander Borodin's 'Prince Igor' are overwhelmingly brilliant and irresistibly barbaric in the best Romantic crowd-pleasing manner, particularly when performed with the original choral parts -SATB with Baritone solo and piano accompaniment.The Dances gained an unexpected popular currency when one of the more memorable tunes was transformed into the song 'Stranger in Paradise' as part of the Broadway musical Kismet.
