Sheherazade

Album by Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky‐Korsakov & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Sir Thomas Beecham

Sheherazade is a symphonic suite by Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, composed in 1888. The work is notable for its vivid, colourful orchestration, use of modal and exotic-inspired melodies and narrative character, and it represents a key instance of Rimsky-Korsakov's mature orchestral style that influenced subsequent orchestral writing.
