Korsakov was a sailor in the Russian Navy and the idea to compose this piece of music came when he visited the port of Suez in 1887 in Egypt.🇪🇬❤

A magnificent excerpt from a magnificent work. Notable parts
8:45 : dramatic, intense
9:32: sweet melody
9:50 famous violin theme
10:45 the music takes on an other-worldly character and holds us enraptured and in anticipation.

[Dharok]

This is the most beautiful piece I have ever heard.

[syolyah]

What an elegant and fantastic imagination this composer had.

[deborahkjellesvig]

One of the most amazing and beautiful pieces of music. I have loved since I was a teenager.

[molarmama]

Yes, a very long time ago, when I was a child.
We always had the classics playing on our HiFi. Point of fact, when my mom was pregnant with me, she would play opera records at full volume, in hopes that I would become a singer. NOPE.

9:49 until now that solo gives me the chills!!🥰

[paulineiv]

Listening to this video should be a sin. Please listen to the full version, with the whole four movements included. You don't know what you are missing. The best composition I have ever listened to.

[massimosforzini]

One of the most graceful and enchanting movements of all times.

[Mike-ndox]

For me the best composer and orchestrator is Rimsky Korsakov . I read the whole history of his life . I listening to Rimski Korsakov daily . If Rimsky-Korsakov would be alive now, I go on foot at him to St. Petersburg, to study orchestration

That background Trumpet part at 5:41 is astounding.

This is one of the better songs I have discovered in the classical genre as of late...More exciting than the usual and yet I have never heard this name even on the classical radio stations...sad!! but thanks youtube and TheWickedNorth for uploading!

In the sixth century A.D., the Arab poet Abu Nawas, on the orders of the Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid in Baghdad, collected Egyptian🇪🇬❤, Persian🇮🇷❤, Greek🇬🇷❤, and Chinese🇨🇳❤ myths and produced for us the wonderful book, The Thousand and One Nights.

The first couple of times playing this as principal clarinetist in college were some of the scariest moments of my life. Especially since my orchestra director doesn't understand what under tempo means. But it came out GREAT during the concert!

[LoftiKakish]

This old great classical music Never Die love it !!

[Essyemmm]

Thank You for this. I am steadily learning of all the grand old masters and I SO ADORE the opportunity to hear them even in this venue. TY TY It's all sublime to me. Yes, I like Pop jazz and rock too.. BUT the Classics are, for me, the PREMIERE DESSERT...♥ The Best of the best...

[fulviotesta]

[TheAkelei]

R.-Korsakov seems to have been underrated. This version is a little bit too fast for my taste, but so be it. Wonderful main theme. At 6.17 I feel reminded to the "flight of the bumblebee" - and who wonders....

[dannystanhope]

Played this one in a community orchestra in central Minnesota during high school. Fell in love with it. The concertmaster was this short, little powerhouse of a violinist. Just heard/saw this on an "arts" channel on teevee. Now, I'm going to be obsessed with finding the best rendition. Damn.
