Scheherazade

Album by Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky‐Korsakov & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Louis Frémaux

Scheherazade is a symphonic suite by Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, composed in 1888. The work is characterised by vivid orchestral colour, modal and folk-influenced melodies and an episodic, narrative structure drawing on orientalist themes, demonstrating Rimsky-Korsakov's approach to orchestration and its place in late 19th-century Russian musical developments.
