Scheherazade

Album by Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky‐Korsakov & London Symphony Orchestra & Eugene Goossens

Scheherazade is a symphonic suite by Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, composed in 1888. The work is characterised by colourful orchestration, vivid modal melodies and a recurring solo violin theme that suggests a narrative voice, and it exemplifies Rimsky-Korsakov's mature interest in programme music and exotic orchestral colour.
First released: July 1965
