Deutsche Grammophon, 2000
A powerful and wonderful CD
+ POWERFUL , and AWESOME!!!
+ A must
The performances are superb. The sound quality is excellent. It is a fine choice of works by Rimsky-Korsakov (over 2 hours and 35 minutes of music). We hear one of my favorite performances of Sheherazade. And the Capriccio Espagnol. The Flight of the Bumblebee. The Tsar Saltan Suite, the ...

Stellar Performance
+ Cd of Rimsky=Korsakov
+ Nostalgia
Having been a professional violinist and pianist for thirty years, I have developed a special appreciation for classical music. Scheherezade is one of the great orchestral pieces. This version clearly highlights the great skill of the composer and the orchestra. All the pieces on this cd are ...

EMI Classics, 1999
Extraordinarily charismatic

+ Great performance, not-so-ideal recording technique.
+ Ablaze with Color

Amadis, 2000
Satisfying Rimsky-Korsakov
+ Another perspective
If you are in the market for a very satisfying Sheherazde and a couple of great encores, this very cheap CD is for you. First of all, the sound is great. Maybe the earlier reviewer had a bad copy, but the sound on my CD is exceptional. The performances by the 2nd tier orchestra are sensational. ...

Teldec, 1999
Russian Exoticism
+ The best Scheherazade next to Beecham's
+ A good performance, but there's better copies out there.
The Mogachaya Kuchka, or the Mighty Handful, were a group of Russian composers dedicated to raising the National music of Russia to greater heights. Rimsky-Korsakov was one of the five, and his music always has a "Russian" sound, sometimes even an "Asian" quality. This CD features three famous ...

Karajan joins the classic Scheherazades, but not at the very top
+ Fine Playing
+ Perfect!
All the virtues mentioned by other reviewers are certainly here, but this warhorse has received at least half a dozen great performances, and quite a few are either in better sound or give a more Slavic flavor. For sheer vulgar impact--why not?--nothing surpasses Stokowski on London's Phase 4, with ...

Rimsky-korsakov: Scheherazade, Tsar Saltan
Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov, Daniel Barenboim
Elatus, 2006
How rare--a completely personal Scheherazade
The splenetic reviews below are misplaced. This excellent-sounding, extremely well played Scheherazade is trying to achieve something different. Barenboim slows down the tempo and plays for atmosphere to remind us of the Arabian Nights and the exoticism of Rimsky's source. This thrice-familiar ...

+ How to tell if McDonald's makes the best hamburger
I had remarked in a previous customer review on this one that Herman Krebbers' performance here makes all the difference to me, and I'll stand by that. But for Santa Fe to claim no individuality for this performance leaves me scratching my head; perplexed that such a stellar performance by this ...

"The immediate impression here is of a solidly based orchestral sound--not surprising, as the band balances 12 violins and four violas with three cellos and three double basses." -- BBC Music magazine A major step in Anima Eterna's journey towards 19th century music. The period instruments and the group's experience--they have already recorded Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker and, Johann Strauss's ...

Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade for orchestra Op36; Russian Easter Festival Overture Op36
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Ernest Ansermet, ...
Decca, 1995
absolute magic
+ Colorful, Romantic, Dramatic, and Consistently Musical !
This should be an essential part of any Russian music lover's library. Ansermet had a particular affinity with this repertoire, and the very distinctive sound of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande make this a very endearing and memorable release. It's a paradox, but though Rimsky's orchestral ...

My first experience of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) was a Rimsky-Korsakov CD on BIS of his Piano Concerto, Capriccio espagnol, the Tale of the Tsar Saltan, and Sadko. I thought that, if BIS recorded them, then they must be OK, so I purchased it. I now have about 5 CD's of the ...

Philips, 2003
Yet to listen
+ Disagree: This Rimsky has color, lilt, touches of Slavic soul
+ Funny, the Penguin Guide gives it a Rosette!
I was amazed by the previous reviewers comments considering Edward Greenfield (Gramophone 11/2002) gave such postive slant on the recording, as quoted below: "Recorded under live conditions but without an audience in St Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre, this Scheherazade is the most red-blooded, ...

A hard-to-peg Jansons does Mussorgsky
Now that he's risen to the eminence of conducting the Royal Concertgebouw, I sitll haven't figured out the charmed life of Mariss Jansons. He comes form a golden pedigree (his fahter, also a conductor, was assistant to Yevgeny Mravinsky, I believe), and British critics early on raved about the ...
