What would happen if members of Savatage decided to write some Christmas songs? Easy: Trans-Siberian Orchestra. This "supergroup" is the brainchild of Jon Oliva and Paul O'Neill (respectively the leader-keyboardist and the producer of Savatage). They hired Al Pitrelli (Asia, Savatage) to play guitars, Robert Kinkel to help with keyboards, John Middleton (also a member of Savatage) on bass, and Jeff Plate on drums. Lead vocals are shared by six vocalists, while some of the backing vocals are handled by Savatage lead singer Zachary Stevens. Christmas Eve and Other Stories is a concept album: all the songs are built as chapters of a book, each telling part of a larger story. The plot here is of a young angel sent down to Earth to find and bring back to the Lord "the one thing that best represents everything good that has been done in the name of this day." The angel's quest takes him all over the world, through Russia and Sarajevo, until he finally hears the prayer of a father. This last piece is the strongest moment on the album and makes for a miniature story within the larger story. It is basically told in a trilogy of songs: in the first, "Ornament," we hear the father's prayer, explaining how he hasn't seen his daughter in many years. In "Old City Bar," the angel finds the daughter, standing alone outside a bar, and talks to the bartender who, out of a random act of kindness, takes all the cash from his register drawer and gives it to the girl so she can go home. The third song, "This Christmas Day," has the father praising God, thanking him for bringing his daughter back to him on this night of all nights. It is a very touching story, pondering the thought that "If you want to arrange it/This world you can change it/If we could somehow make this/Christmas thing last/By helping a neighbor/Or even a stranger." Musically, the band has taken some traditional Christmas songs ("O Come All Ye Faithful," "O Holy Night," "The First Noel") and mixed in some modern rock mus

The role of Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka (1804-57) in Russian music is comparable to the role of Shakespeare in English literature. Glinka established the Russian national music school. Tchaikovsky wrote that "all Russian music was contained in Glinka's "Kamarinskaya" like a majestic oak in a tiny acorn". Glinka's music for the first time in Russian history wasperceived as the Voice of Russia. This Voice also was heard and enjoyed in other countries. Glinka was born in a noble family which owned Novospasskoye village near Smolensk. He got the best possible education at that time at Tsarsko-Selskiy Litseum. The school was established for the education of the Russian elite. Among graduates were Russian philosophers, diplomats, writers, painters and composers - Pushkin, Glinka, Griboedov, Zhukovsky, Odoevsky, Mitskevich, Delvig... These graduates became the pride of the Russian state for centuries. After his graduation Glinka spoke six foreign languages. Among basic disciplines at this school were music, literature, painting and architecture. Glinka also dedicated a great deal of his time analyzing symphonic scores and took lessons in composition and piano from John Field in St. Petersburg and music theory from Siegfried Dehn in Berlin. During the summer time Glinka loved to play violin and flute with a symphony orchestra owned by his uncle. The facts of Glinka's biography are not hidden from the public, however some Western musicologists portray the composer as a lustful fellow who studied sex techniques swapping women in countries he visited and who developed his technique of composition by shaking the hands of Bellini and Donizetti during his trip to Milan. You may also read that listening to a clarinet quintet by Crusell, a composer from the Russian province called in the 19th century Suomi (now Finland), was crucial for Glinka's determination to become a composer, that the composition by the Finnish composer developed in Glinka "knowledge and appreciation of Western-style music" which was "scant until he heard" quintet by Mr. Crusell. The commonstatement is that Glinka was sick, lustful, poor and barely educated before visiting countries of Western Europe. In fact these trips were designed to polish and extend his knowledge, to establish personal contacts and represent Russia abroad. Glinka was recognized and became a friend not only to the Russian Tsar Nikolai I, but also to Berlioz, Liszt, Bellini, Donizetti and Johann Strauss. Glinka's music represents Russian classicism. It brings an abundance of positive energy, reveals harmony and balance so common to the Russian character. This album contains overtures and orchestral pieces from Glinka's operas "Ivan Susanin", "Ruslan and Ludmila" and a less known symphonic cycle known as "Andante Cantabile and Rondo in D minor". This two-movement composition was written in 1823, in Novospasskoye, and initially was considered as a sketch for a future symphony. Evgeni Svetlanov and the USSR Symphony Orchestra perform the program. Overture to "Ruslan and Ludmila" is performed together with the USSR Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra. Evgeni Svetlanov (1928-2002) was born in Moscow. He studied piano with Maria Gurvich, composition with Mikhail Gnessin and Yuri Shaporin and conducting with Gauk. After graduating from the Gnessin Institute and Moscow Conservatory he joined the staff of the Bolshoi as a principal conductor (1963-1965). In 1965 he became a leader of the USSR ...
