About "Rimsky-Korsakov: Russian Easter Festival, Op. 36" by Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
Rimsky-Korsakov's Russian Easter Festival Overture erupts with pagan frenzy, its zigzagging strings and brassy fanfares evoking a midnight procession. The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra balances solemnity and wild celebration, a tension between sacred ritual and earthy revelry that feels like a storm breaking over a candlelit cathedral.
