I think this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music i've ever listened to. How wonderful is music!

Rimski-Korsakov is for me one of the greatest orchestrators. His orchestration of Mussorgsky's "Night on a Bare Mountain" is epic. Schiherazade in its entirety is a celebration of intricate interplay between instruments in the symphonic orchestra. And a treasure chamber if you want to learn a few lessons of instrumentation.

I agree. Too many manerisms! There is no flow.

did not like the bassoon solo or oboe solo
