Jonsimar, do Brasil! Ainda que 09 anos depois, a performance é fantástica, bem executada por todos, um conjunto incrível! Ainda hoje, ouço, ouço outra vez, e mais uma vez... E todas as vezes a emoção e forte! Maravilhoso.
He visto éste concierto hace 9 años en Palacio Ópera Coruña y fue maravilloso,lo triste es que murió ayer 9 Octubre el director Lef Segerstan Sigo a mi querida OSG desde hace años en Coruña y Ferrol ❤
When ever I feel suicidal I listen to this piece and remember the reason I am still living. This performance got me back into music, I'm now playing piano again, and I'm starting to learn Liszt! Edit: 26/12/23 I'm still alive. It's gotten better in the past 18 months. Dont stoo fighting. Use this music to keep yourself sain. It's never too late to get pulled back. Keep fighting my friends.
Mit diesem Werk ist Rimsky Korsakov ein ganz besonderes Meisterwerk gelungen. Die Grundidee ist einfach. Die Variationen hingegen sind äußerst kreativ, impulsiv und ausgwogen. Ich hab noch nie ein klassisches Stück wie "Scherazeade" gehört, das dermaßen die Phantasie beflügelt, und das Blut bei Zeiten gleichermaßen in Wallung bringt. Um gleich darauf zu zeigen wie sensibel und sparsam er das Ganze zur Ruhe bringen kann. Ich kann mich an einige Filme erinnern, in denen diese Musik pefekt zum großen Kino-Genuß geführt hat. Das Orchester hat mit einer grandiosen Leistung zum Genuß des Stückes beigetragen. Die Aufnahme ist in einer außerordentlich guten Qualität. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass dieses Musikstück schon viele zu Vans der klassischen Musik gemacht hat.
I love this work because as I listen to it, I replay scenes from movies about Aladdin, Sinbad and so many others, which I enjoyed as a boy. (1950s and 1960s)
Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nden selamlarım sizi. Şehrazad'ın yer aldığı 1001 Gece Masalları'nı okumalı çocuklar ve gençler. Yetişkinler de geç de olsa okuyabilir.
What an amazing performance. The yelling at around 44:40 + , according to some online comments, is not in the score, and so the addition could easily rile purists, but I have to say, for me it elevated the performance from spectacular to legendary. We will see... 81K thumbs up in 7 years is a pretty good indication.
Shocked the living daylights out of me! I’ve heard this maybe 20 times and that’s the first time I heard THAT. It’s a creative addition but I would love to know what was in his mind and who is the character who is supposed to be yelling.
La Sinfónica de Galicia siempre consigue conquistarme. Es maravilloso escuchar músicos que sienten lo que interpretan, que se siguen involucrando a pesar de los años, que disfrutan, que emocionan. Gracias.
Es la obra musical favorita para mi persona, desde niña cuando descubrí un disco vinilo en casa... He soñado, tratando de reconocer cada instrumento, cada arpegio y cada nota, con los lejanos paisajes de Oriente; allí donde se escenificaba "Las mil y una noches"... MAGISTRAL INTERPRETACIÓN.
La mía también. Yo de pequeña quería aprender a tocar el violín por esta composición. Por desgracia, no pude hacerlo, me dediqué al piano y al final lo dejé por otras circunstancias.
Russian composition, Finnish conductor, Spanish orchestra, Persian folk tale inspiration--welcome to the wonderful peaceful world of music!--I wish governments worked in harmony like this--there'd be no wars--just joy and harmony.
"Scheherazade" is a symphonic suite composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1888. It is based on the story of "One Thousand and One Nights," also known as "Arabian Nights," which tells the story of the Persian queen Scheherazade, who tells her husband, the Sultan, a new tale every night to delay her execution. The suite is divided into four movements: The Sea and Sinbad's Ship: This movement starts with a solo violin representing the character of Scheherazade, and it continues with a depiction of the sea and the ship of the legendary sailor Sinbad. The movement features many solos and duets for various instruments, including clarinet, bassoon, and horn. The Story of the Kalendar Prince: This movement tells the story of a prince who falls in love with a princess, but she is under a curse that causes her to change into a bird every morning. The prince eventually breaks the curse, and they live happily ever after. The Young Prince and the Young Princess: This movement features a beautiful love duet between two solo instruments, the violin and the clarinet, representing the two lovers. Festival at Baghdad - The Sea - The Ship Breaks against a Cliff Surmounted by a Bronze Horseman: The final movement is the most dramatic and exciting of the four. It depicts a great festival in Baghdad, with a procession of people, camels, and elephants, and concludes with the ship of Sinbad crashing against a cliff with a statue of a bronze horseman on top. "Scheherazade" is one of Rimsky-Korsakov's most famous and enduring works and is known for its lush orchestration, vivid storytelling, and evocative melodies. It is considered a masterpiece of Russian Romantic music and is still regularly performed and recorded today.
One of my favourite pieces of all time. The persistence of such a strong narrative between all the segments is so captivating! I remember as a kid this was the most enrapturing piece when someone told me the basics of the story - it fed my raving imagination for years on end. All the Middle Eastern motives were so mysterious and captivating. This also strikes close to home: I'm from Portugal, Galicia in Spain is just so close! The language is so close as well. Cheers everyone.
Every section of the orchestra plays their part so expressively. I can feel the intense emotion of each moment of the story that’s being told. Beautiful!
1980’li yılların başlarında yaşadığım köyde hiç kimsede televizyon yok iken, her cuma sabah 7-7:30 arası radyoda bir masal programı olurdu. Program, birinci bölüm solo keman ile başlar ve devamında üç dakika devam ederdi. 11 yaşında bir çocuk olarak o solo keman ve devamındaki kısa bölümde efsunlu bir kapı açılır içeri dalardım veya masal diyarı kaf dağının arkasına uçup gelirdim. Bu eserlere aşık oluşum işte o radyo programı ile başladı. Bu eserin bestecisine ve o masal programını yapanlara çok müteşekkirim.
A year later watching this again. Why? Because it might just be the definitive recording of the piece for all time. Can't imagine a performance more perfect, more in tune, more well-paced, more emotional, more heartwrenching, more inspiring......just ....well.....spectacular.
Jesus loves you, and is here for you. “Now, therefore,” says the LORD, “turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” Joel 2:12
I agree. This is not only the best performance of this piece, but also the best performance I have EVER heard. The only I would have liked is if the last violin solo note would have lasted a bit more, but that's the only bad thing. The rest is just mere perfection.
Согласна, что очень неплохое исполнение, но лучшим его назвать не могу. Наверное потому, что слышала это произведение в исполнении оркестра филармонии Санкт-Петербурга (тогда еще Ленинграда). Сложно объяснить, но всегда слышно когда русскую музыку исполняют иностранцы.
Indeed, I have lost count of how many times I have heard this- spectacularly romantic rendition of this masterpiece! The colorful quality of the orchestra, each player, each section is so distinctive. And hats off to the engineers too for capturing this glorious performance! Thank you for posting!
@@davidhuttner275 I have a 1750 copy of of the book written in old script. I actually read it after getting used to reading the s for the f. Yes a wonderful piece of music and it was not even his fulltime job . Keep well mate.👍
I have lost count how many times I come here to listen to this beautiful perfect performance. Everytime my lovely black cat sits on me and listens with pleasure to every note. My 6 parrots go quiet and listen intently with their eyes flaring with excitement. ❤ You can see the emotion it creates for them.
Amo Sherezade. Meu pai lia as histórias das 1001 noites e punha a música ao fundo. Fiz o mesmo com meus filhos. Eu adorava quando eles apenas escutavam a música e identificavam as histórias, o sultão e conversavam entre eles. Puxa, que infâncias nós tivemos... Esse tom épico arrepia-me toda. Eu "vejo" as histórias maravilhosas que Sherezade levou 1001 noites contando para o sultão e, com isso, ele ficou tão interessado pelas lendas que decidiu poupar-lhe a vida. Grande Rimsky-Korsakov. Preencheu anos de minha vida com meu pai e, muito tempo depois, com meus dois filhos. Fazia-mos uma espécie de "teatro", com os meninos fazendo caras e bocas, de acordo com o personagem. Maravilha de peça musical que não sómente nos proporcionou o prazer que um concerto nos dá mas que exercitou, alegremente, nossa fantasia. Serei sempre grata às lendas e sua representação em forma de belíssimas melodias. 😊👩👦👦👏⚘💐
I came to see a genius who attended Juilliard for his graduate degree, a man who mastered 3 musical instruments, who did not let a spinal injury or cancer deter him from what he loves most, a man who has conducted 12 opera orchestras and who has written 327 symphonies, 18 of them in one year to keep his mind away from his health challenges. In addition, I was rewarded by an engrossingly brilliant display of visual artistry, a conductor waving his arms dramatically in what mimics a Rembrandt painting with chiaroscuro embellishments. Truly a memorable trip.
What to play, and HOW it is to be played is on paper before the players. The 'conductor' is a useless dunderhead. Proof, note how seldom the players glance at the dunderhead! THAT becomes extremely evident in this age of TH-cam!!!!!!!!
@@allencraig8161 Left to their own devices without a conductor, musicians would begin to assert their own individual opinion, expression and interpretation. The meeting of the minds happens during rehearsals, where the conductor is boss. What you hear during a performance is the finished product where musicians rarely have to look up to see what they already knew from rehearsals.
The solos and duets are just so beautiful and then the way the rest of the instruments come in just makes it a thousand times better. This piece is amazing I hope to learn it one day
I started with Mom's love of the classics in music. Now finding myself searching for the things she loved some 60 years ago when I was not even 10 years old. When I found this on TH-cam I almost wept with the joy of life's renewal that comes from hearing my memories unfolding before my ears after this rendition so well played.
I heard this masterpiece about 60 years ago first time. It was a little boatstrip to the "prince island" near Istanbul. Since this time I am fascinated every times and sometimes it's difficult for me not to weep about all the beauty in this music. From beginning till the very last sound it's touch my soul. Exceptional Interpretation! Thank you Mr. Leif Segerstan.
Hermosisima obra . Tan bien interpretada por la Sinfónica de Galicia. Me gusta ver el detalle de cámaras que enfocan a cada instrumento o grupo de instrumentos el el momento que intervienen. Todo es armonioso por aquí. Agradecido disfruto mucho ver esta obra . Esta en mi lista de favoritas.
Scheherazade is Rimsky Korsakov's masterpiece and requires an orchestra of musicians at the top of their form. I discovered the work as a teenager listening to Ernest Ansermet's recording with the Suisse Romandie Orchestra on a Decca LP, so that has always been my reference for performance, tempos, etc. I have to confess to not having heard of the Sinfónica de Galicia. I stumbled across this video while searching for something completely different. Thank you to TH-cam for introducing me to this outstanding orchestra. I watched and listened from the beginning to the very end, and was in a state of rapture. Neither had I heard of Leif Segerstam, but I suppose I am now demonstrating my own ignorance. He is clearly a musician steeped in the music he conducts. One additional, but important note: the camera cuts were all spot-on, always contributing to the enjoyment of the music and the performance, and not getting in the way. I am guessing that the director had the advantage of making them in post-production, using isolated camera recordings. Having been a TV director myself, I know that getting this all right when cutting live is a near impossibility (or maybe the director is just a damn sight better than I ever was!) Thoroughly enjoyable. Finding this added light and joy to an otherwise dull day. Thank you.
@@butsukete1806 Sim! E isto significa as or incondicional a ovra que esta regendo, não faz maia parte do seu ser, seu corpo : faz parte da sua alma! ( e da minha e de muitos como eu!).
The violinist...the sound of a true artist. Listen to it sing. In tones so clear. Beautiful. Beautiful. And I love this conductor. I’ve. Never heard this piece so magnificent.. bravo. Bravo!
My parents took me to see Scheherazade in 1964. I was 12 yrs old. I was totally mesmerized. I thought the harp player was the most beautiful lady I’d ever seen. During intermission I went backstage to see the musicians up close. I was surprised when they acted like normal people. I was shocked when I saw the harp player was old enough to be my grandmother and she was smoking. Apparently she didn’t know that beautiful ladies who play the harp weren’t supposed to smoke. I fell out of love as fast as I fell in. I laugh about it now. A long time ago.
I love this so much - thanks for sharing your memory! I also have many fond memories of going to various concerts as a child - and also of being disconcerted to discover that these musicians were real people with the gamut of foibles that other humans were prone to (if not more so!). As an adult I know many professional musicians, and I have to admit that I am still disappointed when I discover bad habits, poor judgement, or any other failing in these people who are otherwise magical in my eyes 😉

I've always imagined that 1:43 is when the sultan is finally amused by the story. As the violin solo (Voice of Scheherazade) fades and the orchestra joins, he begins to picture scenes of the ocean or ships in his head while listening to the story. Later at 5:13, Scheherazade finishes the first part of her story, but the sultan is hooked. He is so fascinated with it that he even eagerly demands Scheherazade continue the narration. His voice is represented by the clarinet, and it's going back and forth with the violin like a conversation. In the end, Scheherazade agrees to continue, and she says: "are you ready? Here we go: 5:30".
I always come back here over and over again just to listen to that wonderful sweet angel oboe solo in 13:35. Apart from that all of them are the great soloist that melt my heart with their expression and I really love this performance
Elijah Masquelier The ship, with Sinbad and his sailors goes to pieces on the rocks below a cliff, during a storm. I guess the cries of the drowning sailors was an added touch of drama.
Leif Segerstam is amazing conductor. I have heard from close friend of mine he can get the orchestras play like gods even if he never met them, with no time to practise with them. A true gift for humankind. Thanks for posting this, and thanks for "Lefa" and the orchestra!
La pieza musical es fantástica, pero la sinfónica de Galicia me permite valorar cada grupo de instrumentos que suenan en forma tan armoniosa y bella, que me transportan a otra dimensión. Felicitaciones por este bellísimo concierto.
Sounds of my youth. One of my absolute favourites. How many snowy winter nights I spent listening to this. I came across this particular one by chance. Splendid ☺️
Maravillosos Músicos todos. Grandísima orquesta, interpretación y director. Y por supuesto que decir de esta impresionante composición y obra de arte de todos los tiempos. Es un inmenso placer poder disfrutar de la música junto a estos fantásticos intérpretes. Gracias por vuestro esfuerzo dedicación y empeño.
This heavenly music by Rimsky-Korsakov (Scheherazade) was my mother’s absolute favourite; she was always enthralled and absorbed listening to it. When you read the literary inspiration comes from such a poignant tale, the wife Scheherazade surviving by fascinating her husband with the One Thousand and one Nights, I understand why. Rimsky-Korsakov nailed the subject, the mood, the poetry, the drama and the gentleness, perhaps the whole human history in this amazing musical piece! Leif Segerstam conducting is awesome, and the orchestra delivering pure beauty.
Vedere la musica dipanarsi letteralmente davanti ai miei occhi. Vedere le espressioni dei componenti dell' orchestra, e ad ogni suono corrispondere uno strumento mi dà la certezza della grandezza insita in ognuno di noi. Che si tratti di chi suona o che si tratti di chi ascolta, la meraviglia e il sentimento sono gli stessi !
and so, speaking of the moments here that begin at 45:00 in this clip, I must say this: I felt really sorry for the wind and brass players. They had to be ultra focused on maintaining their embouchure. I thought their veins would literally pop out of their heads. Meanwhile, those in the percussion section were too busy staying on 'the beat.' It seems the only ones having real fun during that time, were String players and Segerstam. The entire performance is a MOST extraordinary display of passion and artistic understanding by the Maestro and every single member of this orchestra. I LOVE this! ALL of it from beginning to end.
Precussion rarely needs to worry about staying on beat, it is the conductor's job to maintain a universal tempo. However, they must play their part, and unlike strings, their parts are extremely loud and shouting would probably be intoxicating to their own performance. I guess playing their part comes before having fun, sad tho
This is the best rendition of this music I’ve ever heard. The Concertmaster is outstanding. The entire orchestra and the Conductor offer the best rendition of this music that I’ve ever heard. As always, this music brings tears to my eyes. Carrie
What an original and thoroughly compelling interpretation! Spacious, noble, truly late 19th century feeling. Lovely playing of particularly the Concertmaster. Segerstam, conductor, composer, chamber music virtuoso with his own String Quartet, one of the really creative musicians of our time.Would love to perform once again with him after 40 years ago Scriabine's Promethee and with such an attractive orchestra....
Bastante trabajo habrá tenido el pobre, pues lleva mas de 200 sinfonías compuestas, y sobretodo la mas grande de las obras es su victoria del cáncer que lo tuvo a mal traer.
Performances like this made Leif Segerstam famous. He's a very professional conductor and a composer primarily, but he's an eccentric person. Very dedicated, but happy to divert from the standard - the yelling is very distinctive for this performance. Just look at him - obese, bearded, long-haired man and a relentless creator of music. Even when he speaks English, he isn't very clear what he wants to say exactly. A legend of music, a character who will be remembered, I respect his demeanor - you can find such antics here and there, but with hard work he's earned it.
and the man (Leif S.) TOTALLY understood Rimsky-K. He transferred this understanding to everyone in this orchestra. This performance is amazingly wonderful. And "eccentric" can sometimes be a beautiful thing. I do SO love this.
I consider myself very fortunate to have had a father who listened to classical music when I was a child in the 1960s here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Thanks to my father I came to deeply love the universe of symphonic music. R. Korsakov's music was heard a lot in my house and thanks to that it has a childhood flavor for me.
Extravagantly beautiful...which is what, over the years, we have come to expect from a well-played Scheherazade. This composition is so unique, there simply is no precedent for it in the Classical repertoire. Well done, players! Well done, Leif Segerstam!!
Perhaps it is the setting or the relaxed mood, but I've never noticed how R-K gave almost every instrument in the orchestra a chance to shine in this piece. Yet it comes together as such a magnificent whole. A favorite since my youth, I'm finding reasons to love it all over again. Ben feito, my friends!
indeed most instruments are represented in quite solistic ways through the piece as I use this piece of music to test the neutrality of apparatus like speakers in my business activity.
One of the truly great performances of this beautiful and timeless piece . The first violin is truly remarkable . The orchestra is in perfect balance with the winsome melody woven by the violin, french horn , clarinet and oboe as they play off of each other. Beautiful music played beautifully brought me also to tears.
I keep going back to this video. The music, videography, the amazing orchestra. I so wish I could download this and other performances of this marvelous Symphony Orchester. Kudos to Orchestra Simfonica de Galicia! Viva Galicia for it's fantastic artists!!!
I would add that I also was moved, and the "shouting" was triumphant. An image for me of horsemen riding in a wonderful race! I loved it! Maiestro Segerstam and the Orchestra Sinfonica Galica AND the videographers and sound men all deserve kudos, Jaded snobbish critics notwithstanding this is the bbes Sheherazade I have ever seen or heard..
Yo escuchaba estas obras maestras desde los 10 años mietras mi madre me iba explicando de que trataba cada sinfonia,overtura o concierto Ahora a los 83 años sigo deleitandome sin prisa y sin pausa con estas maravillas auditivas y sonoras.QUE VIVA LA MUSICA CLASICA.
siendo un niño de corta edad en mi caso mi madre escuchaba siempre musica clasica y asi aprendí a amarla y interpretar su sentido emocional y su mensaje que es unico y eterno
I remember hearing this for the first time. I was transported. And I still am removed from here to somewhere else when I hear this composition. I never imagined that music could have such force. I was just a youngster, experiencing very many things for the first time. I went from picking raspberries in the fields and learning about the world around me to learning about the other world. The end of childhood is a bitter moment.
Sensational. Excellent filming .The camera people know their Scheherazade. Seeing the musicians layering the music really increases the pleasure. Rimsky Korsakov would have been impressed. Beautiful conductor and musicians. One of the best interpretations I have heard.Thank you.
Just came here just to pop in to this community always come back in for this wonderful piece of work as I get older I realize that music will be permanent on our minds especially the ones with an impact playing music is an artwork never to be made as a joke but as something to always be there for im currently a highschooler and I will continue learning new instruments for this specific piece of art that has spoken to me, I love this piece especially 3rd movement makes me in tears.
I have always loved the dramatic flair near the ending. But Conductor has added his own 'dramatic flair' making it more interesting, and making himself and the performing musicians not just the 'messengers' who bring the music, but are part of the music themselves. Love it! Now this is my FAVORITE performance to enjoy.
Traducción :D :"Las orquestas españolas son excepcionales, ¿verdad? Son muy expresivas en la interpretación de la música, llena de emociones. Cuando escuché el Concierto de Aranjuez de Paco de Lucía, experimenté una emoción única, pero esta Scheherazade también es rica en sentimientos. Tiene una emotividad dramática y rica que no se encuentra en otras orquestas del mundo. Gracias por una magnífica interpretación"
Una de las mejores versiones de esta grandiosa pieza musical que yo adoro! Gracias maestro y gracias a esta increíble orquesta que es, para mí, una maravilla en sonido y ejecución!
I wanted to thank the personnel that was responsible for the equipment, operation and delivery that brought us this recording in this quality. The performance is TOP NOTCH as stated by many before, but without the effort of the technical handlers we would never have it persisted on youtube, available at our fingertips to enjoy to our hearts content! THANK YOU unsung heroes :) Many a great evenings we're elevated thanks to your expertise and prowess!
Cómo???? 😢 Lo sabía... No lo iba a poder ver en vivo... Será que esta fue su única función con este tema? Que descanse en paz... Ahora me embarga la tristeza y la melancolía
i'm from a middle eastern country and when i was young there was a tv show that was called 1000 night and night which tells the originals stories of scheherazade and it had this piece as a theme and i didn't know the origins of that theme but i always assumed that it was arabic or persian music because it was so suitable to those stories and to the setting to the point where i thought the music was also passed down through the generation just as the book containing the tales was what i'm trying to say it that rimsky did an absolutely great job with this that i believe he lived the tales and maybe even visited the middle east so that he could embrace the feelings and soul of those tales , i'm absolutely amazed of his brilliance
Rimsky-Korsakov lived in St. Petersburg in Russia. Since childhood, he dreamed of traveling and graduated from the Naval Cadet Corps, participated in marine expeditions, visited - England, Norway, France, Italy, Spain, the United States, Brazil.
This must be one of the best quality classical music videos on TH-cam! Inspired conducting, magnificent playing, quiet audience, almost perfect camera work and good audio and visual quality.
No me canso de ver esta obra una y otra vez. Felicitaciones a la Sinfónica de Galicia !!. Ojalá este magnífico ejemplo de difusión y democratización de la cultura fuera imitado por la Orquesta Sinfónica de Chile que pertenece a la Universidad de Chile
I thank the Universe for Rimsky-Korsakov and Leif Segerstam, as well as the Sinfònica de Galacia. Every single time I hear this I am instantly transported to an exciting, new adventure. Singular moments like this are what make life so rich that you do not want to miss a single note.
Romantic 19th century music at its very best. The oriental, mystical motifs come through again and again and in your mind's eye, you can see it stretching out in front of you.
44:59 this is evolution of interpretation. what a fantastic surprise. music is alive. tradition is important; but if you freeze in time you are just nostalgic. congrats
This being a Ballet, it probably says im the score "shouts and clashes from the stage" so he is trying bring that to this performance. Its a story after all
Like Syd, I am old and have listened to many versions of Scharazade...this is my favorite 💞 (Cannot help from dancing when prince and princess meet...80 years, swaying in the kitchen to divine joyous music) Thank you so much for posting and gratitude to Conductor Leif Segerstam and the Sinfonia de Galicia.

Mit diesem Werk ist Rimsky Korsakov ein ganz besonderes Meisterwerk gelungen. Die Grundidee ist einfach. Die Variationen hingegen sind äußerst kreativ, impulsiv und ausgwogen. Ich hab noch nie ein klassisches Stück wie "Scherazeade" gehört, das dermaßen die Phantasie beflügelt, und das Blut bei Zeiten gleichermaßen in Wallung bringt. Um gleich darauf zu zeigen wie sensibel und sparsam er das Ganze zur Ruhe bringen kann. Ich kann mich an einige Filme erinnern, in denen diese Musik pefekt zum großen Kino-Genuß geführt hat. Das Orchester hat mit einer grandiosen Leistung zum Genuß des Stückes beigetragen.
Die Aufnahme ist in einer außerordentlich guten Qualität. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass dieses Musikstück schon viele zu Vans der klassischen Musik gemacht hat.
I love this work because as I listen to it, I replay scenes from movies about Aladdin, Sinbad and so many others, which I enjoyed as a boy. (1950s and 1960s)
In this, we are fellow travellers!

With that age I assume you must be talking about the princess.
90???? Glad to see people of all ages coming to one platform to enjoy music!
Hope you have a long and happy life, Syd! Listening to Sheherazade is indeed wonderful
Only americans can write so
What an amazing performance. The yelling at around 44:40 + , according to some online comments, is not in the score, and so the addition could easily rile purists, but I have to say, for me it elevated the performance from spectacular to legendary. We will see... 81K thumbs up in 7 years is a pretty good indication.
림스키는 대가이지요 이곡을 지니칠 수는 없습니다 너무 좋아요 행복합니다
it scared the living shit out of me
Agreed.
I couldn't agree any more!
Shocked the living daylights out of me! I’ve heard this maybe 20 times and that’s the first time I heard THAT. It’s a creative addition but I would love to know what was in his mind and who is the character who is supposed to be yelling.
La Sinfónica de Galicia siempre consigue conquistarme. Es maravilloso escuchar músicos que sienten lo que interpretan, que se siguen involucrando a pesar de los años, que disfrutan, que emocionan. Gracias.
So this is what Santa does the remaining year?
Honestly this is the finest piece of classic here on TH-cam. I came back once a week for a year now!
Bravo, Maestro Kringle!!!
Apparently, he writes symphonies. Leif Segerstam has written 371, and counting. Still going strong at 80.

Funny!
Same here.
Es la obra musical favorita para mi persona, desde niña cuando descubrí un disco vinilo en casa... He soñado, tratando de reconocer cada instrumento, cada arpegio y cada nota, con los lejanos paisajes de Oriente; allí donde se escenificaba "Las mil y una noches"...
MAGISTRAL INTERPRETACIÓN.
La mía también. Yo de pequeña quería aprender a tocar el violín por esta composición. Por desgracia, no pude hacerlo, me dediqué al piano y al final lo dejé por otras circunstancias.

Russian composition, Finnish conductor, Spanish orchestra, Persian folk tale inspiration--welcome to the wonderful peaceful world of music!--I wish governments worked in harmony like this--there'd be no wars--just joy and harmony.
Finnish conductor
yes, I stand corrected--thanks...
Nevertheless, I also wish governments worked in harmony like this -- no wars -- just joy and harmony.

One of the most exquisite musical masterpieces created by mankind!
No matter how many times I listen to this, I cry every time.
Me too - esp. towards the very end - one of the most delicately beautiful and moving final passages of the classical repertoire.
The most wonderful performance ever of this beautiful composition.
"Scheherazade" is a symphonic suite composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1888. It is based on the story of "One Thousand and One Nights," also known as "Arabian Nights," which tells the story of the Persian queen Scheherazade, who tells her husband, the Sultan, a new tale every night to delay her execution.
The suite is divided into four movements:
The Sea and Sinbad's Ship: This movement starts with a solo violin representing the character of Scheherazade, and it continues with a depiction of the sea and the ship of the legendary sailor Sinbad. The movement features many solos and duets for various instruments, including clarinet, bassoon, and horn.
The Story of the Kalendar Prince: This movement tells the story of a prince who falls in love with a princess, but she is under a curse that causes her to change into a bird every morning. The prince eventually breaks the curse, and they live happily ever after.
The Young Prince and the Young Princess: This movement features a beautiful love duet between two solo instruments, the violin and the clarinet, representing the two lovers.
Festival at Baghdad - The Sea - The Ship Breaks against a Cliff Surmounted by a Bronze Horseman: The final movement is the most dramatic and exciting of the four. It depicts a great festival in Baghdad, with a procession of people, camels, and elephants, and concludes with the ship of Sinbad crashing against a cliff with a statue of a bronze horseman on top.
"Scheherazade" is one of Rimsky-Korsakov's most famous and enduring works and is known for its lush orchestration, vivid storytelling, and evocative melodies. It is considered a masterpiece of Russian Romantic music and is still regularly performed and recorded today.
Thank you so very much for this beautiful bit of information about this beautiful music. I listen to it every morning, with other favorites.
LAST PARTS OF THE SIMFONY WERE USED IN RUSSIAN FILMS ABOUT WARS.
Thank you so much for these explanations.
Thank you, the story and action wonderfully explained.
It is an excellent performance.😊
Thank you. I would have loved to have this reference today that I had the enormous pleasure to experience it live.
One of my favourite pieces of all time. The persistence of such a strong narrative between all the segments is so captivating! I remember as a kid this was the most enrapturing piece when someone told me the basics of the story - it fed my raving imagination for years on end. All the Middle Eastern motives were so mysterious and captivating.
This also strikes close to home: I'm from Portugal, Galicia in Spain is just so close! The language is so close as well. Cheers everyone.

This is probably one of the best Sheherazada performances.. if not THE BEST!!!!!
Every section of the orchestra plays their part so expressively. I can feel the intense emotion of each moment of the story that’s being told. Beautiful!
est-la meilleure ? en tot cas c'est superbe !
1980’li yılların başlarında yaşadığım köyde hiç kimsede televizyon yok iken, her cuma sabah 7-7:30 arası radyoda bir masal programı olurdu. Program, birinci bölüm solo keman ile başlar ve devamında üç dakika devam ederdi. 11 yaşında bir çocuk olarak o solo keman ve devamındaki kısa bölümde efsunlu bir kapı açılır içeri dalardım veya masal diyarı kaf dağının arkasına uçup gelirdim. Bu eserlere aşık oluşum işte o radyo programı ile başladı. Bu eserin bestecisine ve o masal programını yapanlara çok müteşekkirim.

How the orchestra did not end up drenched in sea water they conjured up
is beyond me. Perfection.
Or tears. I can never listen to Sheherazade in its entirety without my heart broken & my eyes leaking.

A year later watching this again. Why? Because it might just be the definitive recording of the piece for all time. Can't imagine a performance more perfect, more in tune, more well-paced, more emotional, more heartwrenching, more inspiring......just ....well.....spectacular.

I agree. This is not only the best performance of this piece, but also the best performance I have EVER heard. The only I would have liked is if the last violin solo note would have lasted a bit more, but that's the only bad thing. The rest is just mere perfection.
Согласна, что очень неплохое исполнение, но лучшим его назвать не могу. Наверное потому, что слышала это произведение в исполнении оркестра филармонии Санкт-Петербурга (тогда еще Ленинграда).
Сложно объяснить, но всегда слышно когда русскую музыку исполняют иностранцы.
Indeed, I have lost count of how many times I have heard this- spectacularly romantic rendition of this masterpiece! The colorful quality of the orchestra, each player, each section is so distinctive. And hats off to the engineers too for capturing this glorious performance! Thank you for posting!
If Rimsky Korsakov wrote nothing else this piece would make him musically immortal. Bless him.❤

Amo Sherezade. Meu pai lia as histórias das 1001 noites e punha a música ao fundo. Fiz o mesmo com meus filhos.
Eu adorava quando eles apenas escutavam a música e identificavam as histórias, o sultão e conversavam entre eles.
Puxa, que infâncias nós tivemos...
Esse tom épico arrepia-me toda. Eu "vejo" as histórias maravilhosas que Sherezade levou 1001 noites contando para o sultão e, com isso, ele ficou tão interessado pelas lendas que decidiu poupar-lhe a vida.
Grande Rimsky-Korsakov. Preencheu anos de minha vida com meu pai e, muito tempo depois, com meus dois filhos.
Fazia-mos uma espécie de "teatro", com os meninos fazendo caras e bocas, de acordo com o personagem.
Maravilha de peça musical que não sómente nos proporcionou o prazer que um concerto nos dá mas que exercitou, alegremente, nossa fantasia.
Serei sempre grata às lendas e sua representação em forma de belíssimas melodias.
😊👩👦👦👏⚘💐
Muito bom
I came to see a genius who attended Juilliard for his graduate degree, a man who mastered 3 musical instruments, who did not let a spinal injury or cancer deter him from what he loves most, a man who has conducted 12 opera orchestras and who has written 327 symphonies, 18 of them in one year to keep his mind away from his health challenges. In addition, I was rewarded by an engrossingly brilliant display of visual artistry, a conductor waving his arms dramatically in what mimics a Rembrandt painting with chiaroscuro embellishments. Truly a memorable trip.
Beautiful
yes ... the Brilliant musicans of the World.... yet i am a simple man..... and i love it no less....
What to play, and HOW it is to be played is on paper before the players.
The 'conductor' is a useless dunderhead.
Proof, note how seldom the players glance at the dunderhead!
THAT becomes extremely evident in this age of TH-cam!!!!!!!!
@@allencraig8161 Left to their own devices without a conductor, musicians would begin to assert their own individual opinion, expression and interpretation. The meeting of the minds happens during rehearsals, where the conductor is boss. What you hear during a performance is the finished product where musicians rarely have to look up to see what they already knew from rehearsals.
Oh i love your comment very much
The solos and duets are just so beautiful and then the way the rest of the instruments come in just makes it a thousand times better. This piece is amazing I hope to learn it one day
I started with Mom's love of the classics in music. Now finding myself searching for the things she loved some 60 years ago when I was not even 10 years old. When I found this on TH-cam I almost wept with the joy of life's renewal that comes from hearing my memories unfolding before my ears after this rendition so well played.
I heard this masterpiece about 60 years ago first time. It was a little boatstrip to the "prince island" near Istanbul. Since this time I am fascinated every times and sometimes it's difficult for me not to weep about all the beauty in this music. From beginning till the very last sound it's touch my soul. Exceptional Interpretation! Thank you Mr. Leif Segerstan.
When the conductor starts yelling towards the end, it just intensifies this amazing piece even more. But makes it even more glorious!!! Love love love
Yes, you said it all.
By the way, you've got a gorgeous pic. 🥰🥰
IF you're familiar w/the story, that's the place where the ship gets wrecked against the rocks and the sailors are panicking, screaming, and escaping.
Hermosisima obra . Tan bien interpretada por la Sinfónica de Galicia. Me gusta ver el detalle de cámaras que enfocan a cada instrumento o grupo de instrumentos el el momento que intervienen. Todo es armonioso por aquí. Agradecido disfruto mucho ver esta obra . Esta en mi lista de favoritas.
Scheherazade is Rimsky Korsakov's masterpiece and requires an orchestra of musicians at the top of their form. I discovered the work as a teenager listening to Ernest Ansermet's recording with the Suisse Romandie Orchestra on a Decca LP, so that has always been my reference for performance, tempos, etc. I have to confess to not having heard of the Sinfónica de Galicia. I stumbled across this video while searching for something completely different. Thank you to TH-cam for introducing me to this outstanding orchestra. I watched and listened from the beginning to the very end, and was in a state of rapture. Neither had I heard of Leif Segerstam, but I suppose I am now demonstrating my own ignorance. He is clearly a musician steeped in the music he conducts.
One additional, but important note: the camera cuts were all spot-on, always contributing to the enjoyment of the music and the performance, and not getting in the way. I am guessing that the director had the advantage of making them in post-production, using isolated camera recordings. Having been a TV director myself, I know that getting this all right when cutting live is a near impossibility (or maybe the director is just a damn sight better than I ever was!)
Thoroughly enjoyable. Finding this added light and joy to an otherwise dull day.
Thank you.
And a fat dude in a chair can wave his arms around and make this seem he made it.

@@janethswinney9118 Hi
We will miss this incredible conductor, rest in peace Maestro Segerstam
Cuanto más veo esta actuación, más me emociona y me gusta. Magistral el conjunto y el realizador de la grabación.
My parents took me to see Scheherazade in 1964. I was 12 yrs old. I was totally mesmerized. I thought the harp player was the most beautiful lady I’d ever seen. During intermission I went backstage to see the musicians up close. I was surprised when they acted like normal people. I was shocked when I saw the harp player was old enough to be my grandmother and she was smoking. Apparently she didn’t know that beautiful ladies who play the harp weren’t supposed to smoke. I fell out of love as fast as I fell in. I laugh about it now. A long time ago.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
wow what a great story - amazing !
Cute story! Telling about such even just imagined intimate moments in a child’s aspiring sensations
What a magical day for you!
I love this so much - thanks for sharing your memory!
I also have many fond memories of going to various concerts as a child - and also of being disconcerted to discover that these musicians were real people with the gamut of foibles that other humans were prone to (if not more so!). As an adult I know many professional musicians, and I have to admit that I am still disappointed when I discover bad habits, poor judgement, or any other failing in these people who are otherwise magical in my eyes 😉
Just the best interpretation of "Scheherazade" ! The conductor is simply magistral.

Until now, I had no idea how much I needed classical music in my life...honestly, I can't believe how beautiful these works of art are...
Life requires food, water, air and music. This will satisfy the fourth requirement, the rest is up to you!
i would highly recommend to visit your local symphonic orchestra (not of this piece specifically). It's beauty of another level.
Just now discovered this at age 64, we are living in the best of times for music.
This is one of the most dramatic and mindblowing performances I have seen. My sincerest thanks to the orchestra, the conductor, and TH-cam
גאונות לשמה ! כל היצירה הזאת !!! לא רוצה לקטלג את היתר ...אבל היא חזקה ! וחודרת לכל הרבדים שישנם אצל כולנו...לא שמעתי כמוה !
This is one of the most gorgeous pieces of music ever written.
I've always imagined that 1:43 is when the sultan is finally amused by the story. As the violin solo (Voice of Scheherazade) fades and the orchestra joins, he begins to picture scenes of the ocean or ships in his head while listening to the story.
Later at 5:13, Scheherazade finishes the first part of her story, but the sultan is hooked. He is so fascinated with it that he even eagerly demands Scheherazade continue the narration. His voice is represented by the clarinet, and it's going back and forth with the violin like a conversation.
In the end, Scheherazade agrees to continue, and she says: "are you ready? Here we go: 5:30".
I see, that’s awesome!
Korsakov one of the best composers of the century plus fantastic orchestra!
Its always a pleasure to listen to Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade, but with Leif Segerstam conductor, its icing on cake. Brilliant.
El minuto 45 impresionante. Jamás lo había escuchado así. Yo también me he puesto a lanzar gritos de liberación.
Agreed!

I always come back here over and over again just to listen to that wonderful sweet angel oboe solo in 13:35.
Apart from that all of them are the great soloist that melt my heart with their expression and I really love this performance
never thought i'd see a conductor start yelling during a concert. this was absolutely epic.
Elijah Masquelier i think it’s in the story when the pirates attack, he added it in and asked the orchestra to follow suit.
Elijah Masquelier The ship, with Sinbad and his sailors goes to pieces on the rocks below a cliff, during a storm. I guess the cries of the drowning sailors was an added touch of drama.
Try Sergiu Celibidache.
Indeed, it was!!!
Every conductor does that,i think
Leif Segerstam is amazing conductor. I have heard from close friend of mine he can get the orchestras play like gods even if he never met them, with no time to practise with them. A true gift for humankind. Thanks for posting this, and thanks for "Lefa" and the orchestra!
La pieza musical es fantástica, pero la sinfónica de Galicia me permite valorar cada grupo de instrumentos que suenan en forma tan armoniosa y bella, que me transportan a otra dimensión. Felicitaciones por este bellísimo concierto.
Sounds of my youth. One of my absolute favourites. How many snowy winter nights I spent listening to this. I came across this particular one by chance. Splendid ☺️
Yes, you said it all.
By the way, you've got a gorgeous pic. 🥰🥰
Maravillosos Músicos todos. Grandísima orquesta, interpretación y director. Y por supuesto que decir de esta impresionante composición y obra de arte de todos los tiempos. Es un inmenso placer poder disfrutar de la música junto a estos fantásticos intérpretes. Gracias por vuestro esfuerzo dedicación y empeño.
Me too!
the solo violin was crazy.
this is my favorite classical piece of all time and this performance gave me a chance to fall in love with it again
This heavenly music by Rimsky-Korsakov (Scheherazade) was my mother’s absolute favourite; she was always enthralled and absorbed listening to it. When you read the literary inspiration comes from such a poignant tale, the wife Scheherazade surviving by fascinating her husband with the One Thousand and one Nights, I understand why. Rimsky-Korsakov nailed the subject, the mood, the poetry, the drama and the gentleness, perhaps the whole human history in this amazing musical piece! Leif Segerstam conducting is awesome, and the orchestra delivering pure beauty.
Vedere la musica dipanarsi letteralmente davanti ai miei occhi. Vedere le espressioni dei componenti dell' orchestra, e ad ogni suono corrispondere uno strumento mi dà la certezza della grandezza insita in ognuno di noi. Che si tratti di chi suona o che si tratti di chi ascolta, la meraviglia e il sentimento sono gli stessi !
and so, speaking of the moments here that begin at 45:00 in this clip, I must say this: I felt really sorry for the wind and brass players. They had to be ultra focused on maintaining their embouchure. I thought their veins would literally pop out of their heads. Meanwhile, those in the percussion section were too busy staying on 'the beat.' It seems the only ones having real fun during that time, were String players and Segerstam. The entire performance is a MOST extraordinary display of passion and artistic understanding by the Maestro and every single member of this orchestra. I LOVE this! ALL of it from beginning to end.
Precussion rarely needs to worry about staying on beat, it is the conductor's job to maintain a universal tempo. However, they must play their part, and unlike strings, their parts are extremely loud and shouting would probably be intoxicating to their own performance. I guess playing their part comes before having fun, sad tho
Segerstam is such an amazing and talented conductor. His version of Rimsky Korsakov’s Scheherazade remains my absolute favourite. Truly inspiring.
This is the best rendition of this music I’ve ever heard. The Concertmaster is outstanding. The entire orchestra and the Conductor offer the best rendition of this music that I’ve ever heard. As always, this music brings tears to my eyes. Carrie
Extraordinaria interpretación! Nunca me cansaré de escucharle! Es única y original!
What an original and thoroughly compelling interpretation! Spacious, noble, truly late 19th century feeling. Lovely playing of particularly the Concertmaster. Segerstam, conductor, composer, chamber music virtuoso with his own String Quartet, one of the really creative musicians of our time.Would love to perform once again with him after 40 years ago Scriabine's Promethee and with such an attractive orchestra....
always wanted to know what Santa did the rest of the year
Bastante trabajo habrá tenido el pobre, pues lleva mas de 200 sinfonías compuestas, y sobretodo la mas grande de las obras es su victoria del cáncer que lo tuvo a mal traer.
Appreciate the humour
Love the humor and the gorgeous interpretation of this composition.
Ha Santa...at first, I was just wondering when he would finish the next Game of Thrones book.
jajajajajaja c mamut
Performances like this made Leif Segerstam famous. He's a very professional conductor and a composer primarily, but he's an eccentric person. Very dedicated, but happy to divert from the standard - the yelling is very distinctive for this performance. Just look at him - obese, bearded, long-haired man and a relentless creator of music. Even when he speaks English, he isn't very clear what he wants to say exactly. A legend of music, a character who will be remembered, I respect his demeanor - you can find such antics here and there, but with hard work he's earned it.
Well said.
"but he's an eccentric person..." Well, no kidding! I thought he was a bank vice president in Cleveland Ohio.
and the man (Leif S.) TOTALLY understood Rimsky-K. He transferred this understanding to everyone in this orchestra. This performance is amazingly wonderful. And "eccentric" can sometimes be a beautiful thing. I do SO love this.
He is the type of person who you can see his passion for music, and doesn’t let anything stop him.
He's also famous by being my 10th cousin.
I consider myself very fortunate to have had a father who listened to classical music when I was a child in the 1960s here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Thanks to my father I came to deeply love the universe of symphonic music. R. Korsakov's music was heard a lot in my house and thanks to that it has a childhood flavor for me.
I too, had a father who loved classical music and who imbedded me w/the love of it.
Extravagantly beautiful...which is what, over the years, we have come to expect from a well-played Scheherazade. This composition is so unique, there simply is no precedent for it in the Classical repertoire. Well done, players! Well done, Leif Segerstam!!
Perhaps it is the setting or the relaxed mood, but I've never noticed how R-K gave almost every instrument in the orchestra a chance to shine in this piece. Yet it comes together as such a magnificent whole. A favorite since my youth, I'm finding reasons to love it all over again. Ben feito, my friends!
indeed most instruments are represented in quite solistic ways through the piece as I use this piece of music to test the neutrality of apparatus like speakers in my business activity.
One of the truly great performances of this beautiful and timeless piece . The first violin is truly remarkable . The orchestra is in perfect balance with the winsome melody woven by the violin, french horn , clarinet and oboe as they play off of each other. Beautiful music played beautifully brought me also to tears.
Qué absoluta belleza, me dió escalofríos de principio a fin ♥
Takes me back to my twenties when learnt to appreciate good music I am now in my seventies & still love good music.
I keep going back to this video. The music, videography, the amazing orchestra. I so wish I could download this and other performances of this marvelous Symphony Orchester. Kudos to Orchestra Simfonica de Galicia! Viva Galicia for it's fantastic artists!!!
I would add that I also was moved, and the "shouting" was triumphant. An image for me of horsemen riding in a wonderful race! I loved it! Maiestro Segerstam and the Orchestra Sinfonica Galica AND the videographers and sound men all deserve kudos, Jaded snobbish critics notwithstanding this is the bbes Sheherazade I have ever seen or heard..
Yo escuchaba estas obras maestras desde los 10 años mietras mi madre me iba explicando de que trataba cada sinfonia,overtura o concierto Ahora a los 83 años sigo deleitandome sin prisa y sin pausa con estas maravillas auditivas y sonoras.QUE VIVA LA MUSICA CLASICA.
siendo un niño de corta edad en mi caso mi madre escuchaba siempre musica clasica y asi aprendí a amarla y interpretar su sentido emocional y su mensaje que es unico y eterno
I remember hearing this for the first time. I was transported. And I still am removed from here to somewhere else when I hear this composition. I never imagined that music could have such force. I was just a youngster, experiencing very many things for the first time. I went from picking raspberries in the fields and learning about the world around me to learning about the other world. The end of childhood is a bitter moment.
Sensational. Excellent filming .The camera people know their Scheherazade. Seeing the musicians layering the music really increases the pleasure. Rimsky Korsakov would have been impressed. Beautiful conductor and musicians. One of the best interpretations I have heard.Thank you.
Yea!!! I said the same thing they did an excellent job!
This has been and remains the best orchestral work I have heard in my 63 years.
Just came here just to pop in to this community always come back in for this wonderful piece of work as I get older I realize that music will be permanent on our minds especially the ones with an impact playing music is an artwork never to be made as a joke but as something to always be there for im currently a highschooler and I will continue learning new instruments for this specific piece of art that has spoken to me, I love this piece especially 3rd movement makes me in tears.
This was unbelievable.Fantastic music,conductor,players.For this is worth to be alive.
I have always loved the dramatic flair near the ending. But Conductor has added his own 'dramatic flair' making it more interesting, and making himself and the performing musicians not just the 'messengers' who bring the music, but are part of the music themselves. Love it! Now this is my FAVORITE performance to enjoy.
I totally agree. A brilliant artistic decision!
スペインの楽団は格別ですね。音の表現に情緒が豊かです。

他の国の楽団には無い劇的で豊かな情感です。
素晴らしい名演をありがとうございます。
Traducción :D :"Las orquestas españolas son excepcionales, ¿verdad? Son muy expresivas en la interpretación de la música, llena de emociones. Cuando escuché el Concierto de Aranjuez de Paco de Lucía, experimenté una emoción única, pero esta Scheherazade también es rica en sentimientos. Tiene una emotividad dramática y rica que no se encuentra en otras orquestas del mundo. Gracias por una magnífica interpretación"
Una de las mejores versiones de esta grandiosa pieza musical que yo adoro! Gracias maestro y gracias a esta increíble orquesta que es, para mí, una maravilla en sonido y ejecución!
I wanted to thank the personnel that was responsible for the equipment, operation and delivery that brought us this recording in this quality. The performance is TOP NOTCH as stated by many before, but without the effort of the technical handlers we would never have it persisted on youtube, available at our fingertips to enjoy to our hearts content!
THANK YOU unsung heroes :)
Many a great evenings we're elevated thanks to your expertise and prowess!

Absolutamente Genial maestro descansa en paz y vuele bien alto
Cómo???? 😢 Lo sabía... No lo iba a poder ver en vivo... Será que esta fue su única función con este tema? Que descanse en paz... Ahora me embarga la tristeza y la melancolía
i'm from a middle eastern country and when i was young there was a tv show that was called 1000 night and night which tells the originals stories of scheherazade and it had this piece as a theme and i didn't know the origins of that theme but i always assumed that it was arabic or persian music because it was so suitable to those stories and to the setting to the point where i thought the music was also passed down through the generation just as the book containing the tales was
what i'm trying to say it that rimsky did an absolutely great job with this that i believe he lived the tales and maybe even visited the middle east so that he could embrace the feelings and soul of those tales , i'm absolutely amazed of his brilliance
Rimsky was in the navy. And travelled alot. Hence the inspiration.
Rimsky-Korsakov lived in St. Petersburg in Russia. Since childhood, he dreamed of traveling and graduated from the Naval Cadet Corps, participated in marine expeditions, visited - England, Norway, France, Italy, Spain, the United States, Brazil.
Fantastique interprétation ! Tout est excellent , le chef d orchestre, les musiciens, un pur chef d œuvre. Merci ❤

The first violin solo is just...heavenly.
'LA' vidéo symphonique sur TH-cam selon moi... Un régal, un plaisir pour les yeux & les oreilles. RIP MAESTRO !
R.I.P Aigi, what a phenomenal trumpet player you were. True emotion in the sound.
What a sad event! He died just too young! He will forever be remembered. He was a magnificent trumpet player! RIP
44:59 this is evolution of interpretation. what a fantastic surprise. music is alive. tradition is important; but if you freeze in time you are just nostalgic. congrats
This being a Ballet, it probably says im the score "shouts and clashes from the stage" so he is trying bring that to this performance. Its a story after all
@@slubert this is not a ballet. there is a ballet adaptation but the original composition is a symphonic suite.
@@icancu9680 well i was mistaken. But in the ballet that is what you might expect at that moment
Like Syd, I am old and have listened to many versions of Scharazade...this is my favorite 💞 (Cannot help from dancing when prince and princess meet...80 years, swaying in the kitchen to divine joyous music) Thank you so much for posting and gratitude to Conductor Leif Segerstam and the Sinfonia de Galicia.
Como la vigésime vez que escucho esta interpretación. Y no me cansa.
