Scheherazade

Album by Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky‐Korsakov & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Riccardo Muti

Scheherazade is a symphonic suite by Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, completed in 1888. The work employs vivid orchestral colour, sweeping string themes, prominent solo passages and modal melodies drawn from exoticist sources to create a programme-like narrative, and it exemplifies Rimsky-Korsakov's mature orchestration within the context of late 19th-century Russian orchestral writing.
