Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov

Overview - Recordings - Scores - Books - Links

Born: March 18, 1844, Tikhvin, Russia
Died: June 21, 1908, Liubensk, Russia

Rimsky-Korsakov's works are unsurpassed as 19th century concertos for band. You can get them all in a fine Temple CD coupled with Karel Husa conducting Music for Prague 1968, but the Stockholm performances are fine as well. I've not yet heard the other performances.
