Though during his life he had chemistry as his main profession, Borodin also became a well known musician. He is considered a member of the so-called “The Great Five”, a group of Russian composers who were dedicated to producing specifically national, grassroots kind of classical music. His fame out of Imperial Russia was introduced through Franz Liszt, who in 1880 held a performance of Borodin’s first symphony in Germany. He was admired also by French Countess of Mercy-Argenteau. Borodin’s music is noted for its strong lyricism and rich harmonies. It exudes also an undeniably Russian flavor, along with influences from Western composers. His passionate melodies and unusual harmonies evidenced an enduring influence on younger musicians in France, like Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel (who, in his tribute, wrote a piece for piano entitled “À la manière de Borodine” in 1913).

I still don't get why this piece is so familiar to me. It never clicked before (until I watched Hibike! Euphonium of which the theme is part of the OST funnily enough) but its very familiar from something I must have heard when younger and never known of. No clue what it could be though

Stranger in Paradise was a pop song in the USA about 50 years ago. It's based on the first theme from this work.
