Valery Gergiev conducts Rimsky's Scheherazade - The young prince and the princess 

My mother`s favourite piece of classical music ... heard Scheherazade alot when I was a young child, and I can see why mum had it on so many times, relaxing and beautiful, and I appreciate its wonder now. it will be played at my mum`s funeral.

The Romantic/Impressionist eras of music are my favorite eras and this is one of my very favorite pieces. This is beautifully done here. The use of an orchestra playing almost completely in unison is so far ahead of its time for that time period, it contributed greatly to the development of modern music. The floating melody evokes tenderness and sadness at the same time but ends on a major scale which is hopeful and uplifting.

Music so beautifully written and played it brings tears. Hauntingly beautiful...today's music can't compare.

Wow... I love Gergiev´s gesture at the beginning. Giving an image of the warm sound he wants the orchestra to produce. This movement is absolutely tender, noble and beautiful...

I feel your pain, but being negative only hurts ourselves. It is the times we live in where music like Justin Bieber is popular (mostly with adolescents I might add). Let us not look down on them but instead realize this music will never die as long as we keep listening to it and supporting it.

Mágica y envolvente música, gracias por compartir! ❤

Absolute beautiful piece of music

Incredible !!!! Could it be more intensely beautiful. What a great listening experience to start the day and listen to again and again. Thank you Rimsky-Korsakov!!!! .... and of course the brilliance of the musicians.

I used to pipe this through the British Midland Crewroom in Heathrow whilst the crew reported for their early duties to try and keep them calm and relaxed for their day .... And it usually worked. Happy times.

Peter Farrar - This is one of the most beautiful classical romatic ballads composed by Nicolai Rimsky-Kosakov "Scheherazade, Young Prince & Princess,"a hint of eastern flavour. The awesome energetic impressive conductor, Valery Gergiev, supremely disciplined & commanded his superb Wienna Phylharmonic orchestra to raise their performance to the high standards required for this beautiful classical music, & they achieved that in every musical movement, with the massive string sections playing a distinctive part in the programme. Every member of this superb orchestra performed to a supreme high professional standards. The conductor should be very happy with his orchestra's superb performance. In my opinion Korsakov's "Song Of India", relegated this beautiful music into second place. In my opinion Percy Faith's orchestra's version of the beautiful Rimsky-Korsakov's "Song Of India", is the best I've Heard. But mysteriously , RU-vid blocked viewers comments. Golden words addressing the classical musical genius of Rimsky Kosakov, by Peter E. Farrar.

I LOVE Walter Auer, my fav flute player to date. He has such a gorgeous tone.

this sing brings me to tears. 🌸

Beatifull music !!

One of my favorite pieces of music ever. Thanks for uploading!!

Rimsky-korsakov is my favorite composer, I love his melodies so much they're gorgeous!!! I especially love his art songs, but this has got to be my favorite from him. I hope one day if I get a boyfriend we can listen to this together

i cant thank you enough for this

7:14 that part hits really hard along with the following

beautiful

maravilloso!!!!

Man, that conductor looks like he just lost his entire family holdings in a stock market crash. You know he worked incredibly hard preparing for this.

I❤️

this must be the sound when the gates of "Heaven" opens for thee!

fabuloso

@Mortechai speak not of bieber. just enjoy the music

really amongst the best there is. Cavaleria is up there too...

@iangb2000 I play the cymbal and played this yesterday. Cymbal is very hard and requires a lot of practice end techinic and get used to it. It's very dificult when you play in diferent cymbals...

much to say! much to say!...but listening is just enough...

I like the flute part

ozel hayatimizi anlatiyim mi burdan

I dont see how some crap ass clownery video by the puppet of the media Justin Bieber can get 20-30 million views while something this beautiful has only 5k. Truly a sad indicator of the present state of our society :'(.

Music video of Moose from baby noah and neighborhood animals

Which orchestra is this?

7:29 Damn i was so disappointed that the cymbal missed a cue!

Gergiev is to crazy for me...not feeling it. Thanks for uploading this! :)

@ClassicHolic but WHAT a cue!!! too bad....

7:37 Mr. Küchl, who told you to suddenly jump an octave higher ??? Do you think you’re more intelligent than Rimsky-Korsakov to change the text ??! SHAME !!!

@furthyrius He should be fired

J' adore "Shéhérazade" mais pas du tout Gergiev!

the first episode of the tv show "the romanoffs" brought me here. when i heard this part 02:51. its beautifull weird. sounds classic but also kind of modern. a strange mix.
