Music played at the end of each episode


From what Tchaikovsky piece was taken the music played at the end of each episode of the mini-series?

reply

It is from Tchaikovsky's "Manfred Symphony." What I've never been able to know is what the opening title music to every episode is.

A bit belatedly - 3 years - here is the answer: music at the start of each episode is the Rite of Spring by Stravinsky - a bit anachronistic but expressing the joy of the body in nature - I assume

Do you have any idea what the beautiful piece is that is played when Vronsky rides his horse around Anna's carriage? They use it several times, I think, but that scene, in particular, sticks in my mind. Thanks!

Thank you so much!
