Chicago Symphony Orchestra Rimsky Korsakov Scheherazade show is really a celebration of Korsakov who left behind a huge body of the earliest and most original Russian compositions. He designed pieces by The Five to perform, which placed them among actively played classical repertoire while also shaping an entire generation of young talented musicians and composers during his many years of educating. He is looked at as the key architect of the characteristic features that classical music fans today call the Russian technique of composition. His works influenced younger generations immensely since he provided a transitional figure of sorts between autodidactism and professional composers that were to set the norm in Russia towards the end of the nineteenth century. While his style was similar to that of Balakirev, Glinka, Franz Liszt, and Hector Berlioz, he passed on this style to two generations of composers in Russia. Alongside, he is also credited for influencing some well-known non-Russian composers such as Ottorino Respighi, Paul Dukas, Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel.
Several adaptations have been made from this piece including a ballet adaptation that premiered in 1910, in Paris at the Opera Garnier by the famous Ballets Russes. The piece has also inspired further works such as Sergei Prokofiev’s piano composition called
Fantasia on Scheherazade that he recorded on the piano roll. Certain passages from Korsakov’s symphonic suite have been adapted for a ballet scene presented at the end of
Song of Scheherazade. The wildly admired and worl-recognized composition has been played by Morton Gould, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, L’Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Concertgebouw Orchestra and now the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Don’t miss your chance to attend the
