Scheherazade, also commonly Sheherazade (Russian: Шехеразада, tr. Shekherazada, IPA: [ʂɨxʲɪrɐˈzadə]), 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 in general 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. The name Scheherazade refers to the main character Scheherazade of the One Thousand and One Nights. It is one of Rimsky-Korsakov's most popular works. • It's set in four movements: • 0:00 - 1. The Sea and Sinbad's Ship • 10:10 - 2. The Story of the Calendar Prince • 22:18 - 3. The Young Prince and the Young Princess • 31:54 - 4. Festival at Baghdad - The Sea - The Ship Breaks Against a Cliff • Performer(s): Herman Krebbers (violin), Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Amsterdam, conducted by Kirill Kondrashin
