Rimsky-Korsakoff is an older spelling of Rimsky-Korsakov, referring to Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908), the Russian composer, teacher and master orchestrator. The products attached to this page identify the composer clearly.

Rimsky-Korsakov’s works include Scheherazade, Capriccio espagnol, the Russian Easter Festival Overture, operas and the Piano Concerto. He was also a central teacher and editor in Russian musical life.

His music is brilliant, colourful and often steeped in fairy-tale, folk and orientalising imagery. Few composers have handled orchestral colour with such confidence and glitter.

This page functions as a spelling variant of the main Rimsky-Korsakov entry rather than as a separate composer. The music behind it is the same bright Russian prism.
