String Quartet No. 2 in D major: III. Notturno: Andante
Alexander Porfiryevitch Borodin or Alexander Borodin (Александр Порфирьевич… Read Full Bio ↴Alexander Porfiryevitch Borodin or Alexander Borodin (Александр Порфирьевич Бородин, Aleksandr Porfir’evič Borodin) (Nov.12, 1833 – Feb.27, 1887) was a Russian composer. 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).

the conversation between violin and viola is exquisite in the early part..... one of those moments in all music when I can hardly breathe being in awe of its beauty.

Borodin wrote this as a later wedding anniversary present to his wife who was a violinist. Borodin was a cellist so this nocturne is a love duet between the cello and violin. The cello's heartfelt song is repeated on the violin as a perfect response and the other instruments sit back and support. This recording captures the essence in perfect balance between all instruments.The gentle syncopated rhythm of the accompaniment is unobtrusive but sets the air alive to let the duet really sing. Until the music erupts into a fiery passion that can only be felt by those who are in love. How Borodin captures the depth of feeling is amazing and as an audience we are transported in the sublime ecstasy of his art and are able to share in the highest emotion that a man and a woman can experience together. We are almost on hallowed ground.

The most impelling impact of this is that they allow themselves to become lost in this piece; to see these artists completely loose themselves in this is in itself an inspiration for the rest of us to surrender ourselves to our own creativity.

I'm almost moved to tears everytime I hear this because it's the background music for Disneys little match girl short.
