The Demon (1875) is only one of Rubinstein's twenty-something operas! He was certainly no musical revolutionary and had no desire to promote Russian folklore as Rimsky-Korsakov and the other members of the Group of Five did so successfully. Rubinstein's interest lay in Gounod and Western European music, his non-nationalistic views are probably the main reasons for his oeuvre moving out of the limelight.
