Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade is one of the most popular suites in the entire orchestral canon. The work's imperishable melodies and sonorities were an influence on Stravinsky and have been referred to by innumerable cinema composers ever since. The entire world of Smetana's beloved opera The bartered Bride is captured in the Overture, the rousing nature of its dances a further celebration of Czech national resurgences in the 19th century.
