Ballett (Les Sylphides)-In 1883 Glazunov orchestrated a number of piano works by Chopin and called the suite Chopiniana (Les Sylphides). The music inspired the young choreograph Mikhail Fokin who later achieved international fame to devise the ballet Chopiniana in which he invented a plot for each of the five pieces Glazunov had orchestrated. The ballet was first performed in St Petersburg in 1907. Mikhail Fokin once said: Chopiniana was one of my greatest successes.

Élégie op. 44 for Viola and Piano-A precious gem of romantic Viola literature is now available in Henle quality. Thanks to the publisher’s good connections to Russian archives we were able to assess Glazunov’s autograph for the first timefor this first Urtext edition and uncover the discrepancies between the autograph and the first print. Written in 1893 for the Danish violist Franz Hildebrand the ?l?gie is one of the few originalworks of the 19th century for Viola and thus a welcome enrichment of the repertoire. Since the piece does not make any particularly high technical demands on the soloist the ?l?gie is ideally suited forteaching as well – and Tabea Zimmermann’s fingerings guarantee the best possible support.

The Violin Concerto op. 82 is one of Glazunov?s best-known works. Since the first performance in 1905 conducted by the composer when Leopold Auer was the soloist virtually all the great violinists have had it in their repertories. The structure of the work was fairly unconventional for its time. The lyrical and romantic first movement is followed without a break (attacca) by the striking and virtuoso second movement with its characteristic ?alla caccia? themes.

Ballett in einem Akt und vier Bildern von Marius Petipa-Marius Petipa created the ballet The Seasons (1899) on the basis of a symphonic work by Alexander Glazunov. The piece does not really have a plot and its four tableaux merely consist of choreographed representations of winter spring summer and autumn.

Both the bleak Russian midwinter landscape and the joyful celebration of a fall harvest festival are conveyed in this string arrangement by Andrew H.

Le musicien Alexander Glasunov (1865 1936) de Saint-Pétersbourg doit sa carrière musicale à son compatriote compositeur Milij Balakirev qui l'a mis en contact avec Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov en 1880 pour des études privées. Seulement deux ans plus tard Glasunov a fait sensation avec la première mondiale de sa Première Symphonie, et très vite, il était un compositeur renommée nationale et internationale. Dans les années suivantes, il compose la musique rapidement symphonique et de chambre fonctionne avant en 1899, il a été nommé premier professeur de l'instrumentation, alors directeur du Conservatoire de Pétersbourg. Il a ensuite dû consacrer plus de temps à ses tâches pédagogiques et organisationnelles.'Chant du ménestrel' op. 71 a été créé en 1890. Il s'agit d'un paramètre lyrique et expressive, mais un peu mélancolique qui témoigne des qualités mélodiques du compositeur - un récital idéal ou rappel pièce. / Violoncelle Et Piano
