Al Conti - Scheherazade

SCHEHERAZADE

Al Conti
Shadowside Music
2008

This is a wonderful and mystical assortment of compositions that draw the listener into the fantasy world of 1001 Arabian Nights.

Blending numerous instruments—guitar, piano, dulcimer, exotic hurdy gurdy, sitar, tribal drums and other percussion—Al Conti creates a beautiful soundscape, telling the story in musical segments that are sure to delight and entertain.

"Creating the album Scheherazade was an arduous experience. There is a lot of thought, planning and experimentation that goes into creating the arrangements. What keeps me going is the feeling that the eventual listeners are already right there beside me while I am recording. So I can only thank each and every listener for walking with me through this artistic adventure and encouraging me to create more."
