Liadov Kikimora Sir Adrian Boult Halle Orchestra

2.75 GBP (0.96 USD)

This recording made in World War Two pairs Sir Adrian Boult with the Hallé Orchestra instead of his own BBC Symphony Orchestra.

Anatoly Konstantinovich Lyadov or Liadov (1855-1914) wrote of his tone poem that Kikimora
\\\grows up with a magician in the mountains. From dawn to sunset the magician’s cat regales Kikimora with fantastic tales of ancient times and faraway places, as Kikimora rocks in a cradle made of crystal. It takes her seven years to reach maturity, by which time her head is no larger than a thimble and her body no wider than a strand of straw. Kikimora spins flax from dusk and to dawn, with evil intentions for the world\\\
