摘要:The places : This tour of Uzbekistan takes us to Bukhara and to Khiva, former oases on the old Silk Road that joined East and West. Their great buildings, mosques and medrese, reflect their former importance under successive rulers, with monuments of Islamic architecture and decorative art. The music : Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov held a leading position among the Russian nationalistic composers of the nineteenth century. His symphonic suite Sheherazade provides an apt accompaniment along with the musical picture Sadko.
