I don't post classical music much, but it seemed more than appropriate as yesterday I was (finally) able to attend a performance of Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade, which has been one of my favorite classical pieces since I was a kid.
Everybody pretty much knows the story of the 1,001 nights and the value of a good cliffhanger ending, we'll let the San Diego Symphony provide the introduction.
I'm just going to say that solos don't come much more lyrical than this, especially with the violin.
And I'd like to thank my new friend Jen for making it all possible...
Moscow Symphony, Arthur Arnold conductor, Elena Semenova violin solo
Rimsky-Korsakov "Sheherezade, First Movement: The Sea and Sindbad's Ship"
