First Suite from Razumov (3rd Movement)

The piece you're hearing is the 3rd Movement of the First Suite from Razumov, a composition by Greg Bartholomew. The First and Second Suites originate from Razumov, Bartholomew's chamber opera that is based on Joseph Conrad's novel, Under Western Eyes. The First Suite is adapted from three scenes of the opera's first act, while the Second Suite is extracted from the second act's music. The opera narrates the tale of Razumov, a young Russian man who finds himself caught.
