Probably not for the purists amongst us.
A suite for solo violin and, I guess, chamber string orchestra and piano. It's closely based on Rimsky Korsakov's orchestral blockbuster Scheherazade.
My wife wandered in as it was playing and she said "I like this, it sounds more like Russian folk music than the original".
Who am I to argue?
I like it, too.
No, it doesn't have the shock&awe majesty of the original, but it's enjoyable in its own way, imo.
The album also includes a superb performance of Khachaturian's violin concerto as well as his atmospheric trio for clarinet, violin and piano that I hadn't come across before, and some fillers.
