Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov, as well as the Romances of Taneyev and Cui. Led by Guildhall
School professor Dr Maria Razumovskaya, the sessions looked at how the nuances of the
Russian language and the two nations’ cultural histories come together to form the distinct
sound-world of the Russian romance.
From 12–16 February, the project moves from London to St Petersburg – the spiritual
heartland of the Russian romance – and joins the culmination of the city’s celebration of
Rimsky-Korsakov’s 175th anniversary.
The project will return to London on 10 March, when London audiences have the opportunity
to experience an afternoon masterclass led by Iain Burnside and an evening Songs at Six
concert featuring the Guildhall School musicians.
