The Places

Scenes from Moscow and the Golden Ring, the cluster of historic towns to the northeast of the city, including Vladimir, Suzdal, Rostov and Zagorsk, show the historic heart of Russia in winter and summer.

The Music

The music included here ranges from folk song and extracts from the Russian Orthodox liturgy to works by Russian nationalist composers of the later nineteenth century, including Balakirev, Arensky and the more cosmopolitan Tchaikovsky.
