Borodin was a genius. This we know. It's not a recent observation, but I figured you people ought to know. What other composer had such lyric, memorable melodies in his opera that people stole them and made a Broadway musical with them? My heart constricts every time I hear the Polovtsian dances. And the academie look down on him, just because he was popular! Augh! I feel like melting. People must know! Spread the word! Listen to Borodin!
