A greedy King whose army was a disgrace because he only thought of food was the key character in this old Russian folk tale. Ann Rachlin tells the mysterious story of the downfall of King Dodon to the music of the suite from Rimsky-Korsakov's colourful opera "The Golden Cockerel". Need something spooky with music for Halloween Try Ann's tale set to Mussorgsky's famous "Night on a Bare Mountain" in which he describes the frenzied dancing of the witches until the good sound of the church bell disperses them for ever. In "The Sad Dance" Ann's setting of a gentle story by Guy de Maupassant to the music of Sibelius'haunting waltz is touching and poignant,with a match of words and music.
