Rimski-Korsakov: Scheherazade - Rotterdams Philharmonic Orchestra led by Claus Peter Flor - Live HD

This is what classical music is. You can hear it 1000 times and never get tired of it.

[@MichaelLackowski]

I totally agree.

[@RicardoMartinez-jy5lo]

Except Mozart, and here other classical music lovers hate me, but I just can't relate to Mozart, even when I did learn to play classical music. But this piece is out of the world.

The Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra is consistently exceptional to me and has been for many years. The AVROTROS recordings are engaging and creative and the live sound quality is wonderfully mixed giving me the feeling of being there. Simply wonderful and rewarding. Thank you to all. Best wishes from Belgium.

[@windstorm1000]

who doesn' t like Scherazade? maybe the most popular classical music piece--its got it all great melodies, orchestration and more symphonic than you think---the two themes come back again and again----in different guises-- to tie the whole splendour of it all together. RK was genius.

The silky tone of solo violin sounds extraordinarily beautiful. The perfectly synchronized sounds of other instruments are also impressive. Excellent orchestra!

Nikolai Rimsky - Korsakov occupies one of the most honorable places in the long line of Russian musical geniuses. His symphonic suite "Scheherazade" is an immortal masterpiece of world music, the heritage of all mankind. It is known in a huge number of interpretations from virtuoso orchestras and great conductors around the world. This performance is one of the best. Bravissimo! From 32.56 to 33.43 - the most exciting love ecstasy in all world music! Peak of love and passion!..

[@h.r.f.schotanus9654]

Great musical piece ... My brain is transported to a universe of dunes, flying carpets, harems and magic ... Great Korsakov. Fabulous orchestra!

[@fyfyi6053]

I have no idea how this music can make you think of dunes, flying carpets, harems and magic. Such a weird comment.

[@Akos0001]

@@fyfyi6053 You don't... No surprises.

[@fyfyi6053]

@@Akos0001 No, I don't, because it's nonsense. It is a Russian style work. It even has Russian folk elements and sections. Rimski Korsakov was praised in Russia for keeping the Russian style of classical music alive. While Tchaikovsky was criticized for being too "western" in style.

[@fyfyi6053]

@@Akos0001 For the record I do know that Scheherazade is a character from an old arabian fairy tale One Thousand and One Nights But that doesn't change the fact that the music itself is a russian style masterpiece that shouldn't make you think of dunes, flying carpets, harems and magic.

[@anandsamuel1978]

This definitely a masterpiece performance by Rotterdam Philharmonic orchestra for the Master Rimsky-Korsakov! What a glorious performance and was particularly impressed by the brilliance of the Solists! Claus Peter Flor does a super job conducting! Breath taking is the word I find most appropriate to describe this amazing performance!

Every Saturday morning in the late ‘40’s I would go to the Public Library along with many other kids from the neighborhood and a very nice young lady would read to us or play classical music. This time was magical and would take me to a wonderful world filled with beauty, peace and happiness. Here it is in 2022 and this music brings me back to such a wonderful time. Thank you!

my older bro was a classical musician so i got all of this- first the flight of the bumble bees, then the attack by the Cossaks. He went to Westminster Choir College in Princeton to become a conductor. i like jazz. old R &B and 3 minute pop rock. Salute!😊

[@MrListener43]

This is the most brilliant performance of this masterpiece that I have ever listened to. Everyone in this great orchestra is putting their very heart and soul into this performance. The video itself is outstanding if for no other reason than it focuses on the individual players and sections at exactly the right time.

[@TheVaughan5]

Nowhere near as good as Beecham/RPO but no matter, it's still interesting to hear a different approach and of course the playing is excellent overall.

[@DCvg-tg4es]

@@TheVaughan5 this orchestra is considerably better than the RPO.

[@Darksouls184]

Mmmm... I just love the bassoonist's interpretation of that first solo! His staccato isn't as harsh as many bassoonists' is in this piece, and the way the solo is more stretched and dramatic rather than hurried just somehow appeals to me :) Fantastic job!!
