Kletzki, Philharmonia Orchestra - Rimsky-Korsakov - Scheherazade download mp3 album

Scheherazade, also commonly Sheherazade, Op. 35, is a symphonic suite composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1888 and based on One Thousand and One Nights (also known as The Arabian Nights). This orchestral work combines two features typical of Russian music and of Rimsky-Korsakov in particular: dazzling, colorful orchestration and an interest in the East, which figured greatly in the history of Imperial Russia, as well as orientalism in general.
Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade. Because of its instant appeal and considerable length, Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade is the center of attention on this 2014 Onyx release, and conductor Sascha Goetzel and the orchestra lavish it with sumptuous sonorities and stirring expression, giving a vivid rendition of this suite based on the Tales of 1001 Nights. Included in this version of Scheherazade are brief improvisational interludes featuring the lute-like Oud and the zither-like Qanun, which lend the performance a heightened degree of exotic color
