Recorded at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, 1978. Eugene Ormandy, conductor. A great way to kick off Classical Week at the WGOM.

Nice choice, doc. This piece offers a little bit of everything--from dark-to-light, so to speak.

Bernard Hermann's soundtrack to Cape Fear quoted pretty liberally from Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's piece of music.

Since I'm a big classical fan, I'm going to offer some fine alternatives as well, for your hopeful enjoyment.

Here's Ralph Vaughan Williams' The Lark Ascending, my favorite classical piece. I think the lyrical violin compliments Scheherazade well
