Biography

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, known for his symphonic works like Sheherazade and Capriccio Espagnol, was a master of tone-coloring and orchestration. His oeuvre also included operas and chamber works, with his operas notably evoking myths and legends. Born in 1844, Rimsky-Korsakov initially pursued a naval career but eventually became a prominent composer and professor at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. Throughout his career, he composed a wide range of music, from symphonies to operas, showcasing his talent for storytelling through music.

Rimsky-Korsakov's later works, such as Christmas Eve, Sadko, and The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh and the Maiden, continued to draw inspiration from Russian myths and legends. Despite facing personal tragedies and political challenges, Rimsky-Korsakov's compositions remained innovative and rich in storytelling. His final opera, The Golden Cockerel, based on a story by Alexander Pushkin, faced censorship but eventually premiered in 1909, a year after the composer's death. Rimsky-Korsakov's legacy endures through his captivating compositions and contributions to Russian music.
