This symphonic suite was completed in 1888 by Rimsky-Korsakov, known as the magician of orchestration.
Karajan's uniquely elegant and flowing sound production depicts a world of oriental fantasy on an overwhelming scale.
Karajan's interpretation is romantic, dramatic, and perfectly constructed. The Berlin Philharmonic's gorgeous sound is unparalleled, especially the soft brilliance of the strings and the brilliance of the brass, which are exquisitely blended to create a kaleidoscopic sound world.
