Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade
In this series of talks on Western classical music, Dr. Cavas Bilimoria takes listeners through musical concepts, the lives of composers and their famous works, interspersed with examples from recorded music. The first talk this month focuses on Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s masterpiece Scheherazade, composed in 1888. It displays the prowess of the Russian composer in creating an orchestral kaleidoscope of the beloved tales of One Thousand and One Nights, in which the Persian princess Sheherazade captivates Sultan Shahryar night after night by telling him stories to postpone her execution.
