Olesya Rostovskaya – What Peter The Great Heard From The Carillon Tower
"The Tsar and Great Prince of Moscow arrived incognito on the morning of August 8-th last" (extract from the Church records of the Zaandam Evangelical Society)
While traveling in Flanders in last years of the 17-th century, Tsar Peter I was enchanted by the sound of the carillon. When he returned to Russia he brought several instruments with him and so began the Russian tradition of the carillon.
In this historical-artistic reconstruction you will find a march and chants of Tsar Peter I reign the Flemish and Russian folksongs, music written by Vasiliy Titov - the first court composer of Tsar Peter I and even one music piece written personally by Russian Tsar Ivan the Terrible.
