Free Music Notes for Sheherazade
Free Music Review: For Sheer Energy and Propulsive Drama
Hit: 4 Stars
Valery Gergiev is a dependable conductor: if there is staginess and drama to be found in any work he elects to conduct, those elements will dominate. In this rather lengthy old warhorse that sort of approach generally works. Gergiev manages to drive this Scheherazade more like the ship tossing episodes than the dreamier ones, but the sound is never less than exciting.
Many other conductors use this particular work as a showcase piece for their orchestras, giving every section moments of grandeur and the spotlight for virtuosic playing in solo moments. Such was the case in a recent performance with Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos unraveling this richly orchestrated score with the stunning Los Angeles Philharmonic in the glory of Disney Hall. Never before has this work been presented with such clarity and such perfect execution of the solos from the first desk violin and cello to the woodwinds to the percussion section including the harp. Such an exhilarating performance justifies why this old warhorse survives in the concert halls today.
There are many, more subtle recordings of the Scheherazade available, but when coupled with works by and Balakirev as Gergiev has elected to include on this CD, this is one more item to add to the library! Grady Harp, November 06
