Aired 1991-08-02

Sheherazade. For 200 years, the classic series of tales from the Middle East, The 1001 Nights, has inspired artists, musicians and dancers. In tonight's highlights from the 1991 Henry Wood Promenade Concerts, Alexander Lazarev conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra in the most famous and popular of these musical inspirations: Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade. To set the scene for tonight's Prom, deaf percussionist Evelyn Glennie talks to Yasin Safadi , an expert on story-telling in Persia and India.
