Scheherazade Op. 35

Album by Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky‐Korsakov & Bamberger Symphoniker & Jonel Perlea

Scheherazade, Op. 35 is a symphonic suite by Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, composed in 1888. The work is richly orchestrated late-Romantic programme music drawing on folk melodies and exotic narrative-driven material, showcasing shimmering orchestral colours and solo writing, and it occupies a key place in Rimsky-Korsakov's output as an exemplar of his orchestration and interest in orientalism in Russian music.
First released: 1980
