Rimsky-Korsakov - Scheherazade flac album

Scheherazade, also commonly Sheherazade, Op. 35, is a symphonic suite composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1888 and based on One Thousand and One Nights (also known as The Arabian Nights). This orchestral work combines two features typical of Russian music and of Rimsky-Korsakov in particular: dazzling, colorful orchestration and an interest in the East, which figured greatly in the history of Imperial Russia, as well as orientalism in general.

This recording of Rimsky-Korsakov's Shéhérazade, coupled with Borodin's In the Steppes of Central Asia and Lyapunov's orchestration of Balakirev's Islamey, is easily in the same league as Gergiev's earlier recordings and is as good or better than the best recordings of the past. In Shéhérazade, Gergiev stresses the extravagant color and explosive movement of the score and finds the dramatic structure of the work in its balletic forms.

Rimsky-Korsakov composed this symphonic suite, Op. 35, in 1888, based loosely on the stories and themes from Arabian Nights. Despite there being 1001 nights in the original Arabian Nights stories, Scheherazade has just four movements: The Sea and Sinbad’s Ship; The Tale of the Prince Kalender; The Young Prince and the Young Princess (this is the big hit), and The Festival at Baghdad – The Sea – The Shipwreck. Initially, the composer intended to name the respective movements as Prelude, Ballade, Adagio and Finale, but then settled on the thematic titles after being opposed to writing the piece.
