I would appreciate any suggestions as to a good cd version of Rimsky-Korsakov,s Sheherazade and Capricio Espanol. The ones I have heard lately tend to be a bit flat and lifeless - especially the Capricio. (My all-time favorite was a '59 COMMAND recording by Jean Martinon - it was full of fire and passion.) If there are any good versions available on the new budget labels I don't mind saving a bit of money either. Thanks. Dirk

I'm happy with Muti's recording of Scheherezade on EMI. | |||||

The "Capriccio Espagnol" on Telarc CD-80055 is quite good. Of
the two "Scheherazade"'s I have (Varese Sarabande VCD 47208 and
Phillips 400.021-2) neither has stood out as being Great!. Both
are good though.

| 815.3 | Try the Antar Symphony | TIPPLE::MIANO | John M. Miano - KYO | Thu Jul 09 1987 10:41 | 13 |
I agree with .1. Muti's Scheherazade on Angel is pretty good
although I have yet to hear a "definitive" Digital performance.
If you are interested in Rimsky-Korsakov try the Antar suite
(symphony #2) with Maazel/Pittsburg/Telarc - Also with the
Chaikovskii Symphony #2. It is an excelent performance and
the Telarc recording is perfect - as usual.
I have the Mata/Dallas/Telarc-Capriccio Espanol and the
Slatkin/St Louis/Telarc Russian Easter Overture. Both are bland,
lifeless performances. Anybody have any recommendations for
these R-K standards?

| 815.4 | Another Scheherazade | HPSCAD::WALL | I see the middle kingdom... | Mon Jul 13 1987 09:09 | 6 |
I have a recording of Scheherazade I'm very pleased with. It's
Andre Previn conducting the Wiener Philharmonic. Rainer K�chl plays
solo violin. Philips no. 411 479-2. DDD
