Description:

Temirkanov performs "Scheherazade"! New 2011 recording with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra! Yuri Temirkanov and the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, whose previous recording (SIGCD 310) featured the unexpected combination of "Khachaturian" and "Ravel", has released a new recording of "Scheherazade" with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra in 2011. The sixth release from Signum Classics is "Scheherazade" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908), one of the Russian quintet! In 1991, Temirkanov shook the New York Philharmonic in the U.S. during his time at RCA and left behind a brilliant performance of "Scheherazade".In this new recording of "Scheherazade," his first in about 20 years, he will shake the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, the hand-picked orchestra he has led as Music Director and Chief Conductor since 1988! Temirkanov's charisma and the colorful, elegant sound produced by the orchestra are sure to bring the world of the Arabian Nights, full of Orientalism, to life on a grand scale. Tokyo M-Plus
