A student of Rimsky-Korsakov and the teacher of Rachmaninov and Scriabin, Anton Arensky holds a distinguished place in the history of Russian music as both an academic and a composer. 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.'
