Abstract

A Rubinstein Opera
April 12, 1877 issue

add to cart   close window

In one respect Russian composer Anton Rubinstein stands in strong contrast to most modern composers. Rubinstein, after the fashion of the masters of the so-called school, has endeavored to give expression to his feelings in all the various forms of absolute or pure instrumental music, as well as in lyric song, opera, and oratorio, in which the music serves as interpreter of the added poetry. Of his four symphonies, the two best, the "Ocean," and the "Dramatic," symphony, have been heard in the U.S., and are, in the opinion of many, the most important works of that class which have appeared since German composer Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
