RIMSKY-KORSAKOV  Scheherazade
One of the most magical scores in all symphonic music, Rimsky-Korsakov’s wondrous Scheherazade brings Arabian Nights to dazzling life. Franz Lizst (introduced to a generation by Bugs Bunny cartoons) composed his first piano concerto for his own wildly popular appearances; to delight the public and display his own jaw-dropping skills.
