Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov
SCHEHERAZADE
Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Fritz Reiner
RCA Living Stereo / BMG SACD 1960 / 2005
Notes: "Deems Taylor once wrote that thrice-familiar staples of the concert repertoire should periodically be placed under a five-year moratorium, during which time their existence would be conveniently be forgotten. The five-year ban elapsed, one would presumably return to them with ears refreshed and musical appetite eager to relish them again. There are those who argue that 'Scheherazade' merits a moratorium."
It seems to have obtained "warhorse" status.
Scheherazade, Op. 35:
I. The Sea and Sinbad's Ship
