Russian
composer, Alexander
Glazounov (1865-1936) was
director of the Saint
Petersburg Conservatory
for a large part of his
career. As a prolific
composer, his works were
always well-received,
Concerto in E-flat for
Alto Saxophone and String
Orchestra being no
exception. Glazounov's
compositional style was
particularly significant
due to his successful
reconciliation of
nationalism and
cosmopolitanism in
Russian music. Composed
in 1934, a typical
performance of
Concerto in E-flat for
Alto Saxophone and String
Orchestra last about
fourteen minutes and is
played without a pause.
The work is highly
romantic and remains part
of the standard Saxophone
repertoire. For all
advanced saxophonists,
Glazounov's Concerto
in E-flat ensures a
riveting and exciting
performance for players
and audiences alike.
