Prince Rostislav
the Prince Rostislav is a Symphonic poem for full orchestra of Sergei Rachmaninov.
It is about one of its works of studies, and its first large orchestral part (in fact, Rachmaninov had written in 1890 a symphonic poem, Manfred, but the manuscript was lost by it). It was made up in December 1891, the type-setter was then only eighteen years old. One easily raises there the influence of the Russian Masters, Tchaïkovski, Rimski-Korsakov or Balakirev ( Tamara ), but also the blackness of his future orchestral works ( the Rock , the Island of Dead the and Symphonies).
The poem is inspired or supposed to illustrate a part of Alexis Tolstoï: prince Rostislav, killed in a battle, to lie at the bottom of a river. It pushes cries of despair, because it knows that all those which it likes it forgot, and his wife married another man. He is inserted in the lapse of memory, only comforted by the nymphs of the river.
Rachmaninov dedicated its work to its professor Anton Arenski, but scorned it then and it was created, like the Scherzo in minor D , only with Moscow on November 2nd 1945 under the direction of Nicolai Anasov and was published in 1947.
