Scheherazade, Op.35
Album by Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky‐Korsakov & London Symphony Orchestra & Leopold Stokowski
Scheherazade, Op. 35 is an orchestral suite by Russian composer Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov, composed in 1888. The piece employs evocative, programme-oriented orchestration with sweeping string passages, colourful instrumental timbres and episodic movements inspired by Middle Eastern tales, and it exemplifies Rimsky-Korsakov's late-19th-century emphasis on orchestral colour and narrative writing.
