Review by Mohammad Imran Khan

Carmen Dragon Conducts Orientale is a stunning album that showcases the exceptional talent of Carmen Dragon and the Capitol Symphony Orchestra. The album features a collection of classical and folk music from the Orient, all conducted by the legendary Dragon.

The album opens with the famous "Chinese Dance" from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, and from there, the listener is taken on a musical journey through the East. Dragon's masterful conducting brings out the rich, intricate melodies of each piece, from the haunting "Arirang" to the lively "Korean Folk Song."

The Capitol Symphony Orchestra's performance is flawless, with each musician bringing their own unique touch to the music. The strings are particularly impressive, with their smooth, flowing sound perfectly capturing the emotion of each piece.

Comments

This wonderful piece came from a really good LP MFP in UK.Still cannot understand why Cui had it in for Tchaikovsky.Try first piano prelude
I had this album in Junior High School. A very long time ago. I don't have any idea where it could be. Could someone post it or let me know where I could locate a copy of the complete album?
This reminds me of song from Aladin
Noticing the other comments here I have to agree that it does sound similar to Tchaikovsky's March Slave, which he originally titled "Serbo-Russian March" in 1876. It was commissioned for a concert to show Russia's support for Serbia in the Serbo-Turkish War and the main theme is a Serbian melody by Isador Ciric. Cui wrote the Orientale in 1893 as part of a suite for violin and piano called Kaleidoscope; it is the only "exotic" movement in the 24-part suite.
MEMORIES......THIS IS ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE-HAVE THE ALBUM-INHERITED FROM MY MOM & DAD.....D.C. DRAKE & W.B. DRAKE (DRAKE
Lovely and evocative, no small thanks to a certain P.I. Tchaikovsky; Cui's variations are sweet, though. Nice orchestration, I'd love to have this album!
Oh, I have the piano-arrangment for it. :3
I LOVE the surface clicks! It feels like I'm back in my younger days, listening to this thing on an old 60s record player, late at night, quietly so I don't wake up my girlfriend, while I sit and drink way too much Scotch.
Marche Slav?
this was my mother's very favorite album, and I thank you for putting in Kashmiri Song, this was her 'theme song', if one has one for their life.  Thank you so very much!  Mary.
OK, thanks again.
