Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and the Storyteller’s Violin
00:00
22:25
Scheherazade was sentenced to die at dawn. But she had a plan — she would tell the Sultan a story so thrilling that he could not bear to end it. Night after night, for a thousand and one nights, she wove tales of sailors battling sea monsters, princes on daring quests, and magical cities beyond the horizon. Rimsky-Korsakov turned her stories into music, with a solo violin as Scheherazade’s voice weaving through every adventure.
