They were known as "The Five": a group of Russian musicians who eschewed rigidly formal
classical training and set out on their own to give a new artistic sound to classical music in Russia.
Mily Balakirev and Cesar Cui are considered the founders of the movement, but the three who
later joined them have become far more famous and respected outside, and perhaps even
inside, of Russia. Modest Mussorgsky, with his passion for themes of Russian folklore and
nationalism, is remembered for the piano piece Pictures and an Exhibition, as well as for the
,passionate opera Boris Godunov. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, who spent his early years as a naval
officer, had a penchant for infusing his works with the sounds of the sea. But, he might be best
remembered for the hauntingly beautiful symphonic suite Scheherazade. Alexander Borodin
balanced a career as a skilled and highly respected chemist with his interest in classical music. He
produced a number of symphonies, as well as the opera Prince Igor. Despite their lack of formal
training and their unorthodox approach to producing classical music, The Five had an influence
that reached far beyond their time. Composers such as Alexander Glazunov, Sergei Prokofiev,
and Igor Stravinsky studied under Rimsky-Korsakov. Additionally, the mid-twentieth century
composer Dmitri Shostakovich studied under Glazunov, creating a legacy of musical
understanding that persisted well beyond the era of The Five.
