Story of an old Cossack

Taras Bulba and his two sons, Andrei and Ostap, join the Tsar troups in Ukraine and go to war against Poland. This symphony is the unfortunate tale of three deaths - Andrei in the 1st Movement, Ostap in the 2nd and Taras Bulba in the third - immersed in and surrounded by high ideals of love for the homeland, of orthodox faith and of family ties.
