Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka (seen above in a painting by Ilya Repin) was a key member of "The Five", a cadre of Russian composers who sought to create a new and specifically Russian kind of art music, rather than one that imitated older European tradition.
This is a 1904 recording of "Kamarinskaya" by Glinka, complete with weird bird noises.
