The Polovtsian Dances from Prince Igor by Alexander Borodin are a set of ten dances that are featured in this highly acclaimed opera. The dances are written for a full orchestra, with colourful and playful rhythms that capture the spirit of the orientalsteppes. The music is often divided into two distinct parts, each highlighting different themes – the light and airy, with a hint of exoticism, and the dark and dramatic, with a sense of tension and power. With its vibrant and captivating melodies, the Polovtsian Dances are a powerful representation of Russian culture, and an iconic example of classical music.Polovtsian dances prince igor – Alexander Borodin (Piano Solo)
