Sheherazade | Nikolaï Rimski-Korsakov
A masterpiece of the Russian repertoire, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, performed by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg under the direction of Aziz Shokhakimov, carries the listener to the heart of the Arabian Nights. Inspired by Oriental culture, this symphonic suite blends spellbinding narration with orchestral splendor.
Carried by the solo violin – the embodiment of the storyteller Scheherazade – and accompanied by the delicate arabesques of the harp, the music paints the fantastic adventures and captivating tales that save the young woman from Sultan Schahriar’s wrath.
