Are we talking Kalevala - Kullervo? Sibelius's three-parter by the latter name was 1892 I think..."...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

OK - the bad news: no, it doesn't involve Sibelius. The good news: there's no Welsh involved either!Comment

a version of Boris Godunov premiered in 1874Comment

'K' features in 'Boris Godunov' and in 'Khovanshchina'. It is also the subject, and title (following the definite article), of the symphonic work published in 1892.Comment

Glazunov symphonic picture in three parts - The Kremlin opus 30
another great questionComment

Well done, mercs!
'Boris Godunov', which had a premiere in 1874, and 'Khovanshchina', which premiered 12 years later, both include scenes set in The Kremlin, which is the name of a 3-part 'symphonic picture', published in 1892, by Glazunov.Comment
