Scheherazade

Album by Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky‐Korsakov & Minnesota Orchestra & Antal Doráti

Scheherazade is a symphonic suite by the Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, composed in 1888. The work employs vivid orchestral colour and thematic transformation in a programme-music approach rooted in Orientalist subject matter, exemplifying Rimsky-Korsakov's mature orchestration and its place in late 19th-century Russian symphonic writing.
