Composer:
Alexander Glazunov

Conductor:
Jose Serebrier

Background: The 4th release in the celebrated Serebrier / Glazunov symphonic cycle. Grammy Award-winning conductor and composer José Serebrier guides the Royal Scottish National Orchestra through a stunning Glazunov cycle which Fanfare called 'made in heaven' and which continues to draw attention to this oft-neglected composer.

'Glazunov is a composer close to my heart,' comments Serebrier, 'When my father left Russia in the late 1920's Glazunov was at the height of his creativity. Glazunov stands as a link between Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich, the turn of the century period before Stravinsky broke new grounds. Glazunov was one of the greatest scholars in Russian music, and it shows in every bar of his music. Most of his predecessors were self-taught and had other professions. Glazunov was one of the first full-time professional composers in Russia. His music has been neglected partially because some performers have played it rather 'literally', without reading what's behind the notes. If played metronomically and without emotion, the music can sound uninteresting. It requires passion and subtlety.'
