Russian Music for Viola & Piano

STENKA RAZIN

Glazunov’s symphonies are a significant cycle within the Russian symphony, to which similar status should be accorded as the today considerably better-known symphonic cycles by his successors Prokofiev, Myaskovsky or Shostakovich. Like Camille Saint-Saëns in France or Max Bruch in Germany, Alexander Glazunov was a truly progressive, but formally conservatively thinking composer who was not willing to sacrifice the traditional symphonic form to superficial Modernism. It is now time to rehabilitate Glazunov’s symphonies. Whoever studies them intensively will discover some of the finest music of their time and particularly under the wonderful baton of the great Glazunov champion Neeme Järvi.

Glazunov: Orchestral Works, Vol. 4

The ability to refine the sound of piano rolls has increased in quality greatly. Thanks to this innovation and the research of restorer and collector Hans W. Schmitz Tacet is able to give you these recordings of pieces by Glazunov from 1910. Most pieces are played by the composer himself.

Includes work(s) by Sergei Lyapunov, various composers. Ensembles: USSR State Radio Symphony Orchestra, USSR Radio/TV Large Symphony Orchestra. Conductors: Sergei Gorchakov, Alexander Kovalev. Soloist: Julian Sitkovetsky.

This studio recording of Alexander Glazunov's Raymonda was captured in October 2022. The arrangement was created for the ENB's 2022 production, with a score specially adapted and edited by Gavin Sutherland and Lars Payne. The lavish orchestral adaptation retains the best of the composer's original score, updating it to match the dramatic new narrative devised by Tamara Rojo.
