专辑简介
Ruslan and Ludmila” is a unique phenomenon in its own way. Glinka managed to combine the epic development of the plot with the lyrics of the characters’ feelings. The impressive sketches of ancient Russia, the legendary images of the narrator Bajan, of Ruslan, Prince Svetozar create the atmosphere of grandeur of the ancient events. The epic composition of the opera is underlined with the plenty of chorus scenes and gradual unhurried development. The fairy and fantasy episodes related to the weird images of Chernomor and Naina make a conspicuous part of the plot. The music that characterizes these heroes is full of subtle Oriental colouring. The main drama lies in the conflict of Good and Evil. Glinka finds an unusual way to reflect it in music – everything that is connected with something “human”, real and alive is revealed by means of the vocal parts, meanwhile everything referred to magic is characterized by dancing. The negative personages are either stripped of any vocal part (Chernomor) or given a scanty recitative (Naina). It took Glinka five years to compose this opera (1837–1842). Pushkin wrote this poem in his younger years, and its subject considerably was revised by the composer and his friends. Using the plot of the poem Glinka formulated the idea of the triumph of the light over the darkness, exultation of life. The premiere of the opera stirred the heated dispute in the mass media. In spite of the strong denunciation in the court circles the opera was highly estimated by both the general public and such great musicians as F.Liszt and H.Berlioz.
