This Russian Fireworksinstalment of the "Naxos Musical Journey" series focuses on the wide geographical and cultural diversity of a vast country, from winter forest scenes near St Petersburg to the holiday resort of Yalta on the Black Sea, complemented by music drawn from a range of Russian composers linking the musical history of their homeland.
The film opens with the Procession of the Sardarby Ippolitov-Ivanov with pictures of lakes and mountains in Uzbeksitan. Lyadov's charming Russian Folksongsbegins east of Moscow in Suzdal, in the 13th-century cathedral. Rubinstein's Dance of the Bayaderes No. 2takes us to Yalta, the lake resort where Chekov recovered from tuberculosis. A Galopby Kabalevsky underscores pedestrians running up and down the Potemkin steps in Odessa; while Mussorgsky accompanies scenes of the rich farm land round Kiev, Uzbekistan and oases on the silk-road to Samarkand. Lyadov's Baba Yagais set in woods round St Petersburg, evoking the witch of Russian folk lore, and Kilimora, set in the same location, depicts a snowy landscape. The Enchanted Lakeshows the Valday Heights, where the Volga rises. All these pieces are well played by the Slovak Philharmonic, following one another with very short breaks.
On the DVD:Russian Fireworkscomes with travel notes as a guide to each location in the filming. There are also brief composer biographies, and trailers for more "Musical Journeys". The picture and sound quality leave nothing to be desired. --Adrian Edwards
