it wasn't a recording, but a couple of years back i hear valery gergiev and the mariinsky orchestra do an amazing performance of sheherezade at carnegie hall. it was awesome and unlike any recorded version you've ever heard.
Best Recording of Scheherazade
What recording of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade do you find the most enjoyable? I've listened to four different recordings in the last 24 hours. London Symph under Svetlanov, Philharmonic Orchestra of Monte Carlo under Lawrence Foster, Berliner Philharmoniker under Karajan, and New York Phil under Masur. Out of these, I'd rank them as such:
1)Karajan
2)Masur
Distant 3) Foster
4) Svetlanov
I love my college's music library.
