BNY Classics: Scheherazade

— About this Performance —
One of the most colorful and magical scores in all symphonic music, Rimsky-Korsakov’s wondrous Scheherazade is pure romance – an imaginative portrayal of the Tales of the Arabian Nights and a wild ride for the whole orchestra. Then, a violin concerto from Korngold, one of the greatest composers of the Golden Age of Hollywood. But first, Salina Fisher’s Rainphase will transport you to another world entirely, with ethereal, mesmerizing sound.
