Symphonies Nos. 1 & 3

Symphonies Nos. 1 & 3

When the 21 year old Rimsky-Korsakov's Symphony No.1 in E minor was premiÃ¨red in December 1865 it was hailed in some quarters as the first truly Russian symphony. The leader of 'The Five', Balakirev, favoured the use of eastern themes in the search for a personal symphonic path for national music and Rimsky seemed to signal an alternative to the German-influenced music of Anton Rubinstein. He completed Symphony No.3 in C major in 1874. Again it was cast in a thoroughly Russian manner, full of vivacious romanticism and revealing significant technical advances on the earlier work.
