An AFIM (Association For Independent Music) Indie Award Nominee in the Ensemble Classical category.
As the hometown to both composer Alexander Borodin and the ensemble performing his works on this disc, St. Petersburg resonates throughout this recording. It was where Borodin was born, on November 12, 1833, to an elderly nobleman - although not officially. Tolstoy's Anna Karenina reminds us that it was the fashion of aristocrats in that time and place to keep young mistresses. When Prince Gedianov's son was born to his 24-year-old concubine, the boy was officially registered as the scion of one of the Prince's serfs, Porfiry Borodin.
