1631 Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin - Symphony No.2 in B-Minor

1631 Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin - Symphony No.2 in B-Minor

Year: 1878

Genre: Romantic Period/classical

This is my second pick of my mystery theme week:
This is one of my personal favourite pieces from the pen of Alexander Borodin. Out of 'The Five' he composed a lot of their pieces I like the most; personally Mussorgsky wrote a lot I like as well and at times it's a toss up between the two.
Anyway, this in my opinion is a 'musician's piece' of music, however with its beauty and sheer presence it's definitely a listener's song as well; you can easily get engrossed in both the feeling and complexities throughout. I absolutely love to get lost in this amazing piece of music; truly beautiful.
