Scheherazade
Album by Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky‐Korsakov & Wiener Philharmoniker & André Previn & Rainer Küchl
Scheherazade is an orchestral suite by Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, composed in 1888. The work exemplifies late-Romantic orchestration with colourful, exotic harmonic language and prominent violin solos that evoke narrative imagery, marking a key stage in Rimsky-Korsakov's development as a master of orchestral colour with lasting influence on Russian and wider orchestral practice.
First released: 1982
