All-Star Orchestra, Episode #10: Rimsky-Korsakov - Scheherazade

[@davidlee7758]

Scheherazade was the first symphonic work I ever heard, at age 5, and I was hooked on it and classical music in general. The ability of Rimsky-Korsakov to use the orchestra to create a work both intimate and colossal still fires my I imagination. I close my eyes and I see and hear the stories as Scheherazade might have told them. 63 years later and I am still in love with this piece. Like Maestro Schwarz, I too have many recordings of it. As in the recording of Daphnis and Chloe, the orchestra is out-of-this-world talented, and the audio engineering is superb!

Sublime playing! Are there any Chicago or Cleveland wind players? I don't see any.

Brillant, thank you! I have just one request if I may: activate the (automatic) subtitles/captions please! It is easier to follow the great spoken informations for not-english-speaking viewers. Thank you so much! ♥
