Description

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! Today, we turn our attention to 19th-century Russia, which at this time was a country bursting with folk traditions, vast landscapes, and an identity that hadn’t yet found its place on the classical stage. That is until five composers decided to change everything. They called themselves The Mighty Handful. We know them today as The Mighty Five: Mily Balakirev, César Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and Alexander Borodin.
