Solveig will focus on Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Scheherazade, op.35. The Sultan Schariar, convinced that all women are false and faithless, vowed to put to death each of his wives after their first nuptial night. But the Sultana Scheherazade saved her life by entertaining her lord with fascinating tales, told serial-style, for a thousand and one nights. The Sultan, consumed with curiosity, postponed from day to day the execution of his wife, and finally repudiated the bloody vow altogether. Considered Rimsky-Korsakov's most popular work, Scheherazade combines two features typical of Russian music in general and of Rimsky-Korsakov in particular: dazzling, colorful orchestration and an interest in the East, which figured greatly in the history of Imperial Russia, as well as orientalism in general and of Rimsky-Korsakoff in particular: dazzling, colorful orchestration and an inte3rest in the East, which figured greatly in the history of Imperial Russia, as well as orientalism in general. The name "Scherazade" refers to the main character of One Thousand and One Nights. We will listen to the work, which is divided into four sections, in its entirety. |
