{"product_id":"musorgsky-and-his-circle-hb-z44","title":"Stephen Walsh: MUSORGSKY AND HIS CIRCLE Z44 [2013] hardback","description":"The extraordinary group of Russian composers who came together in St Petersburg in the 1860s - long known as 'The Mighty Handful', but, as the moguchaya kuchka, better translated as 'the great little heap' - gave rise to one of the most fascinating and colourful stories in all musical history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStephen Walsh, author of a major biography of their direct successor, Stravinsky, has written an absorbing account of Musorgsky and his circle - Borodin, Cui, Balakirev and Rimsky-Korsakov. With little or no musical education they created works of lasting significance - Musorgsky's Boris Godunov, Borodin's Prince Igor and Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade. Written with deep understanding and panache, The Kuchka, is highly engaging and a significant contribution to cultural history.","brand":"Walsh, Stephen","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44311079747874,"sku":"9780571245628","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/walsh-stephen-stephen-walsh-musorgsky-and-his-circle-z44-2013-hardback-9780571245628-59090144624979.jpg?v=1727167083","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/musorgsky-and-his-circle-hb-z44","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
