Rimsky-Korsakov’s orchestral favourite recast in a new light by Inventi Ensemble. Renowned for its compelling program and gorgeously textured orchestration, Scheherazade becomes an intimate but equally rich piece of chamber music in this arrangement by Glynn Davies. Capturing the essence of Rimsky-Korsakov’s evocative writing, from the undulating sea under Sinbad’s ship to the grimly domineering Sultan, Inventi’s signature quintet brings the tale to life in music and in words: before each movement hear the tale that Scheherazade wove to save ultimately save her life.
