Alexander Glazunov’s career as a major Russian composer straddled the Imperial and Soviet eras. “No one has ever conducted Glazunov’s music with more color and verve,” was the The New Yorker’s verdict on José Serebrier and this collection of his nine symphonies, five concertos and other orchestral works. Serebrier describes it as “a wealth of wonderful late-Romantic music,” speaking of “deep emotions that are contained and controlled, sophisticated and subtle,” and of “a perfect compositional technique… obvious in every bar of music.” Conductor: José Serebrier Works on the CD's Glazunov: Chant du Ménestrel, Op. 71 Glazunov: Concerto ballata in C major for cello and orchestra, Op. 108 Glazunov: Concerto for Alto Saxophone and String Orchestra Glazunov: Introduction and Dance of Salome, Op. 90 Glazunov: Meditation, Op. 32 Glazunov: More (The Sea), Op. 28 Glazunov: Piano Concerto No. 1 in F minor, Op. 92 Glazunov: Piano Concerto No. 2 in B major Op. 100 Glazunov: Raymonda Suite, Op. 57a Glazunov: Reverie, Op. 24 for French horn Glazunov: Symphony No. 1 in E major, Op. 5 'Slavyanskaya' Glazunov: Symphony No. 2 in F sharp minor, Op. 16 Glazunov: Symphony No. 3 in D major, Op. 33 Glazunov: Symphony No. 4 in E flat major, Op. 48 Glazunov: Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major, Op. 55 Glazunov: Symphony No. 6 in C minor, Op. 58 Glazunov: Symphony No. 7 in F major, Op. 77 'Pastoral' Glazunov: Symphony No. 8 in E flat major, Op. 83 Glazunov: Symphony No. 9 in D minor Glazunov: The Seasons, Op. 67 Glazunov: Violin Concerto in A minor, Op. 82
