Take a magic carpet ride from the Wild West to the Seven Seas! Imagine the events in the life of Billy the Kid, the Wild West's most famous outlaw, from life on the Open Prairie to Billy's capture and death, as told musically in Copland's orchestral suite. Experience the dreamy, sultry Arabian nights of Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade who saves her life by telling tales for a thousand and one nights. Imbued with exotic Near Eastern moods and the subtle flavor of Russian folk music, the instrumental colors are vivid and spectacular, the tone qualities lush and ravishing, and the melodies are full and sensual.
