Including previously unavailable archival materials about Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky, this wholly revised edition is both up to date and revelatory. Topics range from decadence to pantheism, musical devilry to narcotic-infused evocations of heaven, the influence of Wagner, and the significance of contemporaneous Russian literature. Symbolism tested boundaries and reached for extremes so as to imagine art uniting people, facilitating communion with nature, and ultimately transcending reality. Within this framework, Morrison examines four lesser-known works by canonical composers\u2014Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov, Alexander Scriabin, and Sergey Prokofiev\u2014and in this new edition also considers Alexandre Gretchaninoff\u2019s Sister Beatrice and Alexander Kastalsky\u2019s Klara Milich, while also making the case for reviving Vladimir Rebikov\u2019s The Christmas Tree.<\/p>\n<p> &nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis volume contains so much valuable material: the archival research, the subtle contextual connections, and countless insights, whether musical, poetic, historical, or biographical. The book\u2019s impact should extend well beyond musicology, and it deserves to be considered one of the magisterial studies of the Russian Silver Age.\u201d\u2014Marina Frolova-Walker, author of Stalin\u2019s Music Prize: Soviet Culture and Politics<\/p>\n<p> &nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\"color:#FF8C00;\"\"\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\uffe5Acclaimed for treading new ground in operatic studies  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,127],"tags":[],"topic":[],"class_list":["post-108305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-kc","category-127"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=108305"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108305\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=108305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=108305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=108305"},{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftopic&post=108305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
