Обложка альбома «Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade, Tsar Saltan - Suite, The Flight of the Bumble Bee» — Christopher Warren-Green, Philharmonia Orchestra & Vladimir Ashkenazy

Rimsky-Korsakov’s 1888 suite for symphony orchestra is a dazzling evocation of 19th-century Russian “orientalism”. Conjuring exotic tableaux in the most vivid colours, <i>Scheherazade</i>’s four movements evoke an intensely animated Arabian vision. Inspired by the folk stories of the Islamic Golden Age, Rimsky-Korsakov composed music based on characters and events of <i>One Thousand and One Nights</i>. Christopher Warren-Green is best-known as a conductor, but before he took to the rostrum, he was leader of London’s Philharmonia Orchestra. His solos in this recording of <i>Scheherazade</i> are utterly beguiling, and Vladimir Ashkenazy achieves a seductive performance from the orchestra. The album is completed with the orchestral suite from Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera <i>The Tale of Tsar Saltan</i> and a thrilling, full-orchestra rendition of his much-loved “The Flight of the Bumblebee”.
