"I think it is a thousand times better to compose in direct contact with the physical medium of sound than to work in the abstract medium produced by one's imagination." - Rimsky-Korsakov
Scheherezade by the great Russian master of orchestration, Rimsky-Korsakov, is a perennially popular work whose colorful tone painting always showcases fine orchestras and orchestral section leaders. Gergiev's performance with Vienna is one of the finest available for online listening. Gergiev is brilliant at bringing out the ferocious qualities in music which have softened during centuries of performance, in particularly composers from his own country, Russia.
