Slavic composers Smetana, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Rachmaninov cared
deeply about their national roots and national identity, and each knew
how to seduce the ear of listeners with gorgeous melody, ravishing
orchestration, and a heart-racing sense of the dramatic.
Works Discussed: Smetana's The Moldau, Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade, and Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2
