One of the better recordings of Rimsky-Korsakoff's Scheherazade. Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony. I just received an SACD of this timeless recording.

Background of what the music is based on..........

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheherazade

For those who just can't wait for the recognizeable passage/movement, skip to 20:44 on.

I guess most people couldn't listen to the whole thing without pulling their hair out, but everything has its place and the build up is awesome. A story told through music.

Another favourite of mine............ since I'm a Big Band / Jazz lover.


2:59 flutter tonging, airy, devil flautist solo, lol.

Dirty look from MG1 can melt steel beams.

"There must be dissonance before resolution - MG1" a musical reference.
