Nikolaï Rimski-Korsakov occupe une place de choix dans la musique symphonique russe de la fin du XIXe siècle. Parmi ses opéras d'une exceptionnelle richesse musicale on citera Sadko créé en 1898. Cet opéra-byline en sept tableaux est basé sur Sadko le riche négociant Conte du Roi des mers et de la sage Vassilissa et d'anciennes ballades russes. La ballade Song of India (Chant du marchand hindou) est extraite du quatrième tableau.
