Composer of the Week - Alexander Borodin (1833-1887) - Episode 5

As Borodin's scientific career grew ever more distinguished, his compositions became fewer. In today's episode, Donald Macleod introduces his last major works, the "Petite Suite" and "Allegro" for piano, as well as exploring his third and final symphony, left unfinished at the composer's death and completed by Alexander Glazunov.
