Rimsky Korsakov - Scheherazade 

Korsakov was a sailor in the Russian Navy and the idea to compose this piece of music came when he visited the port of Suez in 1887 in Egypt.🇪🇬❤

A magnificent excerpt from a magnificent work. Notable parts 8:45 : dramatic, intense 9:32: sweet melody 9:50 famous violin theme 10:45 the music takes on an other-worldly character and holds us enraptured and in anticipation.

This is the most beautiful piece I have ever heard.

What an elegant and fantastic imagination this composer had.

9:49 until now that solo gives me the chills!!🥰

One of the most amazing and beautiful pieces of music. I have loved since I was a teenager.

Yes, a very long time ago, when I was a child. We always had the classics playing on our HiFi. Point of fact, when my mom was pregnant with me, she would play opera records at full volume, in hopes that I would become a singer. NOPE.

Beautiful and Mesmerizing!!💞Rimsky Korsakov was a genius and this magical masterpiece just takes you to the world of Scheherazade!!💝😇

Listening to this video should be a sin. Please listen to the full version, with the whole four movements included. You don't know what you are missing. The best composition I have ever listened to.

For me the best composer and orchestrator is Rimsky Korsakov . I read the whole history of his life . I listening to Rimski Korsakov daily . If Rimsky-Korsakov would be alive now, I go on foot at him to St. Petersburg , to study orchestration

One of the most graceful and enchanting movements of all times.

That background Trumpet part at 5:41 is astounding.

The first couple of times playing this as principal clarinetist in college were some of the scariest moments of my life. Especially since my orchestra director doesn't understand what under tempo means. But it came out GREAT during the concert!

In the sixth century A.D., the Arab poet Abu Nawas, on the orders of the Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid in Baghdad, collected Egyptian🇪🇬❤, Persian🇮🇷❤, Greek🇬🇷❤, and Chinese🇨🇳❤ myths and produced for us the wonderful book, The Thousand and One Nights.

Listening to this for the first time here on youtube, I knew I heard it somewhere before. And now I know. The very beginning is the "Gargamel" theme from the 90's series "The smurfs". Checking back, the whole series is full of "classic" compositions. Now I try to piece together the rest, so far it was worth it! By the way, this is some awesome composition, but difficult to get into. The opposite of "easy-listening".

This is one of the better songs I have discovered in the classical genre as of late...More exciting than the usual and yet I have never heard this name even on the classical radio stations...sad!! but thanks youtube and TheWickedNorth for uploading!

This old great classical music Never Die love it !!

This is what Meryl and Charlie ice danced to when they won the gold medal at Sochi Olympics 2014.

it seems so unreal that people can write this kind of music if you think about it..blows my mind

bravo Rimsky-Korsakov!

I did not expect to hear motifs in this piece that I heard previously from an updated cover for the silent movie The Thief of Bagdad. It's so cool to hear the original piece they came from!!

Thank You for this. I am steadily learning of all the grand old masters and I SO ADORE the opportunity to hear them even in this venue. TY TY It's all sublime to me. Yes, I like Pop jazz and rock too.. BUT the Classics are, for me, the PREMIERE DESSERT...♥ The Best of the best...

Definitely one of the most memorable pieces of musical compositions ! Magnificent and beautiful; if one know the story behind it!💐💙💐

Played this one in a community orchestra in central Minnesota during high school. Fell in love with it. The concertmaster was this short, little powerhouse of a violinist. Just heard/saw this on an "arts" channel on teevee. Now, I'm going to be obsessed with finding the best rendition. Damn.

Я люблю эту музыку составу является фантастическим

R.-Korsakov seems to have been underrated. This version is a little bit too fast for my taste, but so be it. Wonderful main theme. At 6.17 I feel reminded to the "flight of the bumblebee" - and who wonders....

when I was a kid I actually enjoyed this music.

Obsessed with this song. Piece of art !

This is so intense and beautiful

Saudade de dançar Ballet de repertório Scheherazade ♥♥♥♥

Fantastic recording! The best I ever heard and played as orchestra-musician.

Спасибо!

It's amazing how everyone did it back then, it still fascinates me how much work they put in it :)

I can't 'like' this enough

Another tale of her Arabian nights Ed. Thanx Clarke -yes please!

Wonderful.

Boys and Girls, please use headphones Sennheiser and you will see perfect picture! Don't forget to close your eyes! It isn't ad, I was impressed...

Magic music!

I listened to this while cleaning my kitchen. Dishes became... equally as annoying to have to do, but I DID like the song.

Rare footage of Pirates Of The Caribbean, 1873 black & white

Grazie amici di internet deliziosa musica fantastica orchestra a me piace molto ascoltare buona musica, musica divina un saluto da Trieste, Italia fulvio

A great sailing ship is caught before a shrieking gale on a lee shore. Frantically the sailors work the sails as they desperately try to beat to windward and the open sea but the wind is too strong. You hear the ship strike in the music. The agonies of the sinking as men struggle in the water, are all too clear. You hear the ship disappear beneath the waves. Only Sinbad himself survives. Scheherazade keeps him so that the king be amused and herself alive for it is a story within another story

A song without words is an instrumental composition or an instrumental version of a song. Search it in the dictonary. Songs have lyrics.

Baghdad my love my place

A veritable organic taste of sounds

Dit is relaxt, spannend en zeer muzikaal tegelijk.

I hear that, too. Mussorgsky was far more influential on the other members of the Kuchka than they would have ever admitted.

wonderful!

Disney was going to use this for a "Fantasia" spin-off called "Muiscana". It would have been a retelling of "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" with the entire cast consisting of birds.

7:50 and on is so riveting and heavy, I feel it in my bones!

The chase scene in The Thief and the Cobbler!

Beautiful

This is the fourth movement

Bellissimo!!!!!!!!

Love it. Even better to listen to when you've played it...

The grandeur of this piece of music from 7:49 - 8:57!

Amazing

Thank you dear i have seen full concert in 1984 at wellington New zealand...jzpatelut...

You must listen! In other words BE OPEN to everything!

pure epicness...

Brilliáns!!!!

This is not the whole suite, it's 4th (final) part only.

you guys should here this on Oboe. It sounds amazing when somebody can actually play it.

HÁ PROVAVELMENTE 70 ANOS, OUVI PELA PRIMEIRA VEZ ESTA COMPOSIÇÃO QUE ERA TOCADA EM UM TRECHO DO FILME ALI BABÁ E OS 40 LADRÕES, QUANDO ESTES DEIXARAM A CAVERNA E CORRIAM PELO DESERTO , MONTADOS EM CAVALOS. A MAGIA DA MÚSICA CLÁSSICA É INESQUECÍVEL.

maravilloso

OHHH!! Its like being stabbed in the heart by a lollipop...

רימסקי קורסקוב יא גבר נודר

8:40-8:50 heavie metal ?

It's not surprising that this is the first video I have seen in a while with NO dislikes... funny that.. =D

Thumbs up if you remember this music from the "Recobbled" version of "The Thief and the Cobbler."

Nice!

this is great, thank's

this feels like the fast version because i found this song on spotify but it sounds different

oh man are you serious adds right in the middle of a masterpiece moment? why???

10:15 so beautiful!!!!

It's amazing, especially 2:04 (rock)

Fantastic!

Genius!!

Yes, indeed, you hear it exactly from approx. 7.27 on, right? R. Korsakov has been underrated, I think. And if remembered, it's "only" and mostly the dance of the bumblebee....

Hard

According to history, moustaches give you magical powers

Do you know when this was recorded? Or which Orchestra performed? The tempo in this is so much faster than in other versions. I quite like it. Did you manipulate this in any way? Because if not, I want to find the full recording of this performance. It's divine.

Que hermosa suite me encanta

2021 from morocco ♥️

around 2:06 it sounds as if pirates of the carribean was inspired by it ;D and around 7:30 it reminds me of the musical cats!

I think I found good music while I read 1001 nights. :)

Cor! That's good!

It doesn't really matter if the sound is edited or it is all made by a computer, the fact is that music has to evolve and evolution goes forward it's not stationary, I love the sound of an orchestra but I'm opened to innovation. Don't mistake, the important thing is nothe the wood of the violins but the sound they make and the notes they take. I have to say though that for now really few, if not none, good electronic music composition were made.

Compelling and intense...

That drop at 0:46 just killed me!

awesome

amazing

I prefer his Procession of the Nobles, but this is an awesome piece

Вспоминается сцена в театре Варьете из фильма "Мастер и Маргарита"

totally badass theme... :D

And you killed me now! :)
