very nice! Never listened to Borodin before, maybe I should explore more of his repertory.

Thanks!!! Borodin was a great genius. He not only composed amazing music, but he was also a very important chemist in his day! This particular piece is an excerpt from his opera Prince Igor. Here's a few other works of his that I'd recommend

Overture to Prince Igor:

In the Steppes of Central Asia and the Polovtsian Dances (as written with orchestra + chorus)
