Fly on the wings of the wind

to the homeland, our home song

where we sang freely loving

where me and you felt so freely

 

There beneath the burning sky

Languid breezes cooled us

There beside the mountains

Straight above the silver sea

 

Fly on the wings of the wind

to the homeland, our home song

where we sang freely loving

where me and you felt so freely

Greatness, Thanks for this! Great gift to send to ExPat too. Forgot how much I have always enjoyed this piece by Borodin. Have heard it once at the Bolshoi Theatre - what a thrill that was! More a thrll were the amazing ballet dances, the singers, and the eye candy I brought alone for the ride....

Thanks!

 

I'm glad that you liked it. It's a wonderful and powerful music. I was listening to it and somehow it made me think of EXPAT. I always feel sad when people I like leave me and unfortunately it happens a lot.

Funny last time I heard it was the Bolshoi also. I would wonder if we were in the same audience but Im sure I would have remembered your eye candy. LOL. Actually a joke the last time I heard it was during the Kirov tour. Now that was awhile ago

The music was used for the Broadway musical "Kismet".

Hey NYTomcat!

 

I had the advantage of seeing some performances at the Bolshoi just before it closed for major (and long-overdue) renovations. It was when the hammer and sickle were still over the stage! But despite the very uncomfortable chairs (for the proletariate), it was amazing to swill champagne and down little caviar sandwiches between acts for little to nothing, and have one of the most muscular Russian studs with me, a perfect escort in that he was dressed even better than I, and really appreciated Russian opera and ballet. Of course, in bed he was a total Slav sex maniac!!!

 

Never did get into the Marinskiy Theatre in St. Petersburg - but from the outside it looked really in need of an extreme home makeover; but I did see the Marinsky Theatre troup (formerly the Kirov) at the Bolshoi doing a long-forgotten opera of Prokofiev, and the next night watching them dance Swan Lake -- what amazing dancers in the corps du ballet.
