Mit diesem Werk ist Rimsky Korsakov ein ganz besonderes Meisterwerk gelungen. Die Grundidee ist einfach. Die Variationen hingegen sind äußerst kreativ, impulsiv und ausgwogen. Ich hab noch nie ein klassisches Stück wie "Scherazeade" gehört, das dermaßen die Phantasie beflügelt, und das Blut bei Zeiten gleichermaßen in Wallung bringt. Um gleich darauf zu zeigen wie sensibel und sparsam er das Ganze zur Ruhe bringen kann. Ich kann mich an einige Filme erinnern, in denen diese Musik pefekt zum großen Kino-Genuß geführt hat. Das Orchester hat mit einer grandiosen Leistung zum Genuß des Stückes beigetragen.
Die Aufnahme ist in einer außerordentlich guten Qualität. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass dieses Musikstück schon viele zu Vans der klassischen Musik gemacht hat.

I have lost count how many times I come here to listen to this beautiful perfect performance. Everytime my lovely black cat sits on me and listens with pleasure to every note. My 6 parrots go quiet and listen intently with their eyes flaring with excitement. ❤ You can see the emotion it creates for them.

"Scheherazade" is a symphonic suite composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1888. It is based on the story of "One Thousand and One Nights," also known as "Arabian Nights," which tells the story of the Persian queen Scheherazade, who tells her husband, the Sultan, a new tale every night to delay her execution.
The suite is divided into four movements:
The Sea and Sinbad's Ship: This movement starts with a solo violin representing the character of Scheherazade, and it continues with a depiction of the sea and the ship of the legendary sailor Sinbad. The movement features many solos and duets for various instruments, including clarinet, bassoon, and horn.
The Story of the Kalendar Prince: This movement tells the story of a prince who falls in love with a princess, but she is under a curse that causes her to change into a bird every morning. The prince eventually breaks the curse, and they live happily ever after.
The Young Prince and the Young Princess: This movement features a beautiful love duet between two solo instruments, the violin and the clarinet, representing the two lovers.
Festival at Baghdad - The Sea - The Ship Breaks against a Cliff Surmounted by a Bronze Horseman: The final movement is the most dramatic and exciting of the four. It depicts a great festival in Baghdad, with a procession of people, camels, and elephants, and concludes with the ship of Sinbad crashing against a cliff with a statue of a bronze horseman on top.
"Scheherazade" is one of Rimsky-Korsakov's most famous and enduring works and is known for its lush orchestration, vivid storytelling, and evocative melodies. It is considered a masterpiece of Russian Romantic music and is still regularly performed and recorded today.

What an amazing performance. The yelling at around 44:40 + , according to some online comments, is not in the score, and so the addition could easily rile purists, but I have to say, for me it elevated the performance from spectacular to legendary. We will see... 81K thumbs up in 7 years is a pretty good indication.

The other violinist's face at 8:57 and the subsequent nod of approval is gold.
