Rimsky-Korsakov - Sheherazade
Composed in 1888 in St Petersburg, this symphonic poem in four movements is considered Rimsky-Korsakov's most popular work. In the 19th century, the trend was to compose exotic music - Scheherazade conveys the mood and colours in "One Thousand and One Nights", a popular collection of Middle Eastern and South Asian stories and folk tales. Composer: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908). Conductor: Yuri Temirkanov. Performers: St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra. Location: Annecy Classic Festival, France.
