Dargomuyzhsky

Japanese: ダルゴムイシスキー

Russian composer. Born into an aristocratic family in Troitskoye (now Belyov district, Tula Oblast) in southwestern Russia, he moved to St. Petersburg at the age of four. He studied music from an early age and became a Ministry of Justice official, but after meeting Glinka in 1835, he decided to become a composer. He then developed his own path along the path Glinka had paved, and interacted with the Russian national school of music. He wrote two operas, both based on Pushkin's originals, making use of the intonation of Russian speech: Rusalka (premiered in 1856) and the unfinished Stone Guest (completed posthumously by Cui and Rimsky-Korsakov, premiered in 1872). The Stone Guest in particular is known as a groundbreaking opera in which most of the vocal parts are written in melodic recitative, and its bold harmonies had a profound influence on Mussorgsky. His other works include orchestral pieces, choral pieces, and songs.

ロシアの作曲家。ロシア南西部のトロイツコエ（現トゥーラ州ベリョフ区）の貴族の家に生まれ，４歳でペテルブルグに定住。早くから音楽を学び，司法省官吏となるが1835年グリンカを知って作曲家を志す。以後，グリンカが切り開いた道を独自に発展させ，ロシア国民楽派と交流。ともにプーシキンの原作により，ロシア語の話し言葉の抑揚を生かした２つのオペラ《ルサルカ》（初演1856年），未完の《石の客》（死後キュイ，リムスキー・コルサコフにより完成され，1872年初演）を書く。特に《石の客》は，ほとんどの歌唱が旋律的なレチタティーボで書かれた画期的なオペラとして知られ，その大胆な和声とともにムソルグスキーに深い影響を与えた。ほかに管弦楽曲，合唱曲，歌曲などがある。
