Prince Igor

Japanese: 《イーゴリ公》 - いーごりこう
Prince Igor

...There is a minority opinion that it is a forgery. In addition, Borodin's opera "Prince Igor" was based on this story. [Nakamura Yoshikazu]...

From Ballets Russes

...The performances of A. Pavlova, TP Karsavina, and Nijinsky, all of whom were trained at the strict classical dance education institution (the St. Petersburg Imperial Mariinsky Theatre Dance School), which was then only available in Russia, were enthusiastically received by the Parisian audience. Furthermore, the heroic warrior dance of the male dancers in the second act of Borodin's opera "Prince Igor" made the performance a decisive one. This success attracted the attention of the Parisian artistic community, and not only did many talented people gather around him, but he also willingly cooperated with the Ballets Russes' works.

From [Borodin]

...A member of the Russian national school of musicians, he was one of the first of the Five to become known in Europe, thanks to Liszt's introduction. Prince Igor, an opera based on a national epic poem (unfinished, later completed by Rimsky-Korsakov and Glazunov)...

From the Russian National School

...Glinka's lyrical melodies and colorful orchestration, and Dargomuizhsky's realist approach that emphasized narration, became the basis of their expressive methods. In the field of opera, there are Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov (1869) and Khovanshchina (1880), AP Borodin's Prince Igor (premiered in 1890), and Rimsky-Korsakov's The Snow Maiden (1881) and Sadko (1896). Their unique dramaturgy can be seen in the fact that they gave important meaning to the popular scenes. In the field of orchestral music, pictoriality and depiction of genres are characteristic of the works. Borodin (Two Symphonies and a Symphonic Poem "In the Steppes of Central Asia" (1880), etc.) and Balakirev (Overture on Three Russian Song Themes (1858), Symphonic Poems "Tamara" (1882) and "Rus" (1887), etc.) played a part in establishing Russian orchestral music, and Rimsky-Korsakov (Capriccio espagnole (1887), Scheherazade (1888), etc.) made colorful orchestration into a classic of Russian music.

【ロシア国民楽派】より

…グリンカの抒情的旋律と色彩的管弦楽法,ダルゴムイシスキーの叙唱を重視するリアリズムの手法は,彼らの表現手段の基礎になった。オペラの分野ではムソルグスキーの《ボリス・ゴドゥノフ》(1869)と《ホバンシチナ》(1880),A.P.ボロジンの《イーゴリ公》(1890初演),リムスキー・コルサコフの《雪娘》(1881)や《サトコ》(1896)などがあるが,大衆の場面に重要な意味を与えた点に独自な劇作法を指摘できる。 管弦楽の分野では絵画性と風俗描写などを特徴としてあげることができるが,ボロジン(二つの交響曲と交響詩《中央アジアの草原にて》(1880)など)とバラーキレフ(《三つのロシアの歌の主題による序曲》(1858),交響詩《タマーラ》(1882)と《ルーシ》(1887)など)はロシア管弦楽の確立者の一翼をになっているし,リムスキー・コルサコフ(《スペイン奇想曲》(1887),《シェエラザード》(1888)など)の色彩豊かな管弦楽法はロシア音楽の古典になった。…
