Scheherazade

Album by Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky‐Korsakov & Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Alfred Scholz

Scheherazade is an orchestral suite by Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, composed in 1888. The music draws on modal melodies and rhythmic gestures evoking Middle Eastern sources, employing lush orchestration, vivid instrumental colours and prominent solo passages, and it occupies a central place in Rimsky-Korsakov's late-Romantic output, illustrating his advances in orchestral technique within Russian symphonic music.
