Scheherazade
January 29, 2011 - Eisemann Center
Scheherezade is considered Rimsky-Korsakov’s most popular work. A brief introduction for the premier relates the story of the Sultan Schariar’s vow to put to death each of his wives after the first nuptial night. But Sultana Scheherezade saves her life by telling the Sultan fascinating tales. The work’s popularity is due in part to its beguiling orchestral colors, rhythmic vitality, haunting melodies and oriental flavor. This performance includes one of the most beloved piano concertos in the repertory – Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3. Born in South Korea, pianist Jae Hyuck Cho studied at the Manhattan School of Music Preparatory Division receiving Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from The Juilliard School. The New York Times described Jae as, “….splendidly clear and his ideas unaffected...fluent and resolute.” The concert opens with a work by Toussaint, known in part for his jazz influenced compositions.
