Scheherazade / Capriccio espagnol

Album by Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky‐Korsakov & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Mariss Jansons

Scheherazade / Capriccio espagnol is an album of orchestral works by Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, comprising compositions written in 1888 and 1887 respectively. Both pieces display vivid orchestral colour, exoticist melodic material and virtuosic writing for various orchestral sections, and they represent key examples of Rimsky-Korsakov's mature style within the late Romantic orchestral repertoire.
