Borodin arr. Martelli – Symphony No. 2 Movement 4 (String Quartet) – Digital Download
Borodin's 2nd is the most well know of his three Symphonies and uses several musical ideas originally intended for his opera Prince Igor. The festive character of this final movement is skillfully recaptured in Martelli's masterful arrangement for the four stringed instruments.

Borodin arr. Martelli – Polovtsian Dances from Prince Igor (String Quartet) – Digital Download
These dances, inseparably associated with Diaghilev's 'Russian Ballet', form the climax of the 2nd act of the opera 'Prince Igor', where the Khan entertains his royal captive. The melody of the maidens dance was used in the musical 'Kismet' to the words 'Hold my Hand, I'm a Stranger in Paradise'. Little of the brilliance and excitement of the original is lost in this masterly condensation for string quartet by Carlo Martelli. For conservatories and professionals.
