For his 1900 ballet Egyptian Nights, based on Pushkin, he chose an exotic theme - the dangerous love of the handsome Amoun for Queen Cleopatra - and sought authentic melodic material in scholarly texts. With his gift for orchestration and color, Arensky fashioned a sensuous and vivid score, featuring a brilliantly conceived series of dances. This was a world premiere recording on it's initial release on Marco Polo 8.225028, recorded in1996. Gramophone wrote: 'The playing is suitably colorful, the recording responsive to that', as did Fanfare: 'The Moscow Symphony Orchestra clearly revels in this repertoire, and it plays with spirit and enjoyment.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46985801990365,"sku":"747313363377","price":20.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3992054-2736203.jpg?v=1762929914","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/products\/arensky-moscow-symphony-orchestra-egyptian-nights","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
