The Hallé
Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade is a dazzling musical retelling of The Arabian Nights. From the sweep of the sea to the energy of festival scenes, the orchestra paints each story in vivid detail, led by the recurring voice of Scheherazade herself in the solo violin. The flowing lines and mellow tones of Glazunov’s Saxophone Concerto reveal a more reflective side to the instrument.
