Is there such a thing as a national style?

Enchanting melodies, rich harmonies, colourful orchestrations, virtuosity and melancholy. When we think of Russian classical music, such descriptions quickly come to mind. How do we explain these associations? Is our typical idea of Russian music actually true? Did Russian composers want to express patriotism in their music? And if so, how did they do it? To accompany Anima Eterna Bruges’s fully Russian concert, Emmanuel Waegemans and Francis Maes sift through the facts.
