Scheherazade / Russian Easter Overture
Album by Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky‐Korsakov & New York Philharmonic & Yuri Temirkanov
These orchestral works by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov were composed in 1888. They exemplify late Romantic Russian orchestration with vivid, colourful textures, modal and folk-derived melodies, dramatic brass and percussion writing and programme-led narrative, marking a mature phase in Rimsky-Korsakov's development as a composer of orchestral colour within the Russian nationalist tradition.
