Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov: Hummelflug: Cello mit Begleitung

Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakovs Flight of the Bumblebee is one of those little orchestral interludes from operas, excerpts that have long since become immortal even while denying their origins; in this particular case, practically no one knows that this bravura piece comes from the opera The Tale of Czar Saltan . It did not take long before the Flight of the Bumblebee began showing up in many arrangements for solo instruments.
