Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) came from an aristocratic family which lived near Novgorod. When he appeared to be musically gifted as a child his parents did not hesitate one moment to map out a more honourable profession for him – he was to make a career in the navy as a marine officer. Rimsky-Korsakov however succeeded in secretly studying the cello next to his studies at the Naval Academy at St Petersburg. Through his cello teacher he came into contact with the composer Balakirev. In this way he suddenly became a member of The Mighty Five (a group of Russian composers consisting of Balakirev Moussorgsky Cui Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakovhimself). Rimsky-Korsakov turned out to be so talented that he even became a teacher at the St Petersburg Conservatory.‘Procession of the Nobles’ comes from the opera-ballet ‘Mlada’.The opera has a remarkable history for between 1868 and 1870 five different composers worked on this project. The final result was never executed however. Twenty years later Rimsky-Korsakov started work on the opera once more and composed his own version of Mlada.The theme of the opera is a tragic love story that is set in the early Middle Ages in a realm on the Baltic Sea. In ‘Processsion of the Nobles’ all the princesses of the country gather for a grand feast on the occasion of the summer holidays.

from the Opera The Night before Christmas-Nikolaï Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) composa son opéra La Nuit de Noël dans les années 1894-95. Cette oeuvre fut créée le 10 décembre 1895 à Saint-Pétersbourg. Signé par Rimski-Korsakov lui-même le livret s'inspire d'une histoire de Nikolaï Gogol qui quelques années plus tôt avait servi de matériel thématique à un opéra de Piotr Ilitch Tchaïkovski. The Night before Christmas (La Nuit de Noël) raconte l'histoire de Vakula le forgeron d'un petit village d'Ukraine. Il est follement amoureux d'Oxana qui demande en témoignage de son amour un cadeau de Noël très inhabituel : les splendides pantoufles de l'impératrice. Parfaitement conscient que dans descirconstances ordinaires il n'arriverait jamais à réaliser le souhait d'Oxana Vakula fait appel aux puissances surnaturelles qui se manifestant sous la forme du diable lui proposent un stratagème pour l'aider. Le diable porte alors Vakula sur son dos jusqu'à Saint-Pétersbourg où lors d'une réception somptueuse à la cour Vakula trouve l'occasion de présenter sa requête à l'impératrice. Celle-ci fini par y consentir et lui donne ses pantoufles. Il retourne donc à son village. Mais son absence avait fait croire qu'il était mort et Oxana était accablée de chagrin car elle avait pris conscience de l'amour véritable qu'elle portait au forgeron. Finalement tous les malentendus sont dissipés et tous les obstacles sont surmontés : Oxana reçoit son cadeau extravagant les amants sont réunis et les cloches appellent les villageois à la messe de minuit. La Polonaise est jouée au 3e acte de l'opéra à l'entrée de l'impératrice dont l'arrivée est anticipée dans le Prélude par des motifs de fanfare. La musique dépeint clairement l'ambiance de fête et le cadre merveilleux de la cour impériale de Saint-Pétersbourg que Rimski-Korsakov évoque dans son opéra. Cette oeuvre peut être interprétée en dehors du temps de l'Avent et de Noël notamment en ouverture de tout concert festif.

'My most important desire and wish was to one day give my experience with the piano over to each pianist, and future young performer. But I have never seen myself as a teacher in the general meaning of the word. Rather I have seen in myself someone who sheds light, one who directs with a small lamp those similar to himself. My intentions may appear presumptuous to some, but it is what I have found my calling to be. ' - Gyorgy Cziffra. / Classique / Partition / Broché /
