Mikhail Glinka, the founder of Russian national opera composition and Russian symphonic music, is known internationally above all for his operas A Life for the Tsar and Ruslan and Lyudmila and his orchestral work Kamarinskaya. The Three Russian Songs heard on the present recording were curated and arranged for piano trio by the composer Eduard Hermann during the 1880s.
