Composer:
Reinhold Gliere

Conductor:
Leon Botstein

Background: Gliere’s third and last symphony, Ilya Murometz is his most ambitious work, combining the tradition of Borodin and Glazunov (to whom the symphony is dedicated) with hints of figures and voices from late European Romanticism, mainly that of Richard Strauss.

His subject, Ilya Murometz, is one of the central figures of the old Russian bylini, or heroic chants. Episodes from the legend of Ilya are recounted in detail in the preface to Gliere’s score and form the basis for each of the four movements.
