Our rating 
3.0 out of 5 star rating 3.0

COMPOSERS: Rimsky-Korsakov
LABELS: RCA Red Seal
ALBUM TITLE: Rimsky-Korsakov
WORKS: Sheherazade; Russian Easter Festival
PERFORMER: RPO, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Leopold Stokowski
CATALOGUE NO: 82876 65843 2
Stokowski’s assignation with Rimsky’s sultry tale-spinner produces oddly uneven results – tempo tics and lurching variations in voltage sap energy from some predictably lush and colourful incidents. For Stokowski-ites only.
