Scheherazade

Album by Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky‐Korsakov & Emmanuel Tjeknavorian & Tonkünstler-Orchester Niederösterreich

Scheherazade is a symphonic suite by Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, composed in 1888. Drawing on Orientalist storytelling, the work is rhapsodic in form and notable for its vivid, colourful orchestration and a prominent solo violin that represents the narrator, exemplifying Rimsky-Korsakov's mature orchestral technique and influencing later Russian orchestral practice.
First released: 7th May 2021
