Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) came from an aristocratic family which lived near Novgorod.
When he appeared to be musically gifted as a child, his parents did not hesitate one moment to map out a more honourable profession for him he was to make a career in the navy as a marine officer.
Rimsky-Korsakov, however, succeeded in secretly studying the cello next to his studies at the Naval Academy at St Petersburg. Through his cello teacher he came into contact with the composer Balakirev.
In this way he suddenly became a member of The Mighty Five (a group of Russian composers consisting of Balakirev, Moussorgsky, Cui, Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakovhimself).< br> Rimsky-Korsakov turned out to be so talented that he even became a teacher at the St Petersburg Conservatory.

‘P rocession of the Nobles’ comes from the opera-ballet ‘Mlada’.
The opera has a remarkable history, for between 1868 and 1870 five different composers worked on this project.
The final result was never executed, however.
Twenty years later Rimsky-Korsakov started work on the opera once more and composed his own version of Mlada.The theme of the opera is a tragic love story that is set in the early Middle Ages in a realm on the Baltic Sea. In ‘Processsion of the Nobles’ all the princesses of the country gather for a grand feast on the occasion of the summer holidays.

Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) stamde uit een aristocratische familie in de buurt van Novgorod.
Toen al spoedig bleek dat hij muzikaal erg begaafd was, waren zijn ouders er als de kippen bij om voor hem een eerbaarder loopbaanuit te stippelen: een carri?re als marine-officier was voor hem weggelegd.
Rimsky-Korsakov zag echter kans naast zijn studies aan de Marineschool van Sint-Petersburg tevens in het geheim cello te studeren. Zijn clandestineleraar bracht hem in contact met Balakirev.
Op die manier behoorde hij plots tot het ‘Machtige Hoopje’ (een groep Russische componisten bestaande uit: Balakirev, Moussorgsky, Cui, Borodin en Rimsky-Korsakov).
Rimsky-Korsakovbleek zoveel talent te hebben dat hij zelfs leraar aan het conservatorium werd.

‘Processio n of the Nobles’ is afkomstig uit de ballet-opera ‘Mlada’. Deze opera heeft een merkwaardige geschiedenis.
Tussen 1868 en1870 hebben vijf verschillende componisten aan dit project gewerkt. Het eindresultaat werd echter nooit uitgevoerd.
Twintig jaar later heeft Rimsky-Korsakov de draad weer opgepakt en zijn eigen versie van Mlada gemaakt.
Hetthema van de opera is een tragisch liefdesverhaal dat zich afspeelt in de vroege Middeleeuwen in een gebied aan de Baltische Zee. In 'Procession of the Nobles' verzamelen alle prinsessen van het land zich voor een groot feest tergelegenheid van de zomervakantie.
