Glazunov was born in St Petersburg. He studied music under Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The first of his nine symphonies was premiered in 1882, when Glazunov was sixteen years old. His popular "Stenka Razin" was also a youthful work. Glazunov also wrote three ballets.
In 1899, Glazunov became a professor at the St Petersburg School of Music, and later its director. He left Russia in 1928, toured Europe and the United States, and died in Paris.
With the help of his mentor and friend Rimsky-Korsakov, Glazunov finished some of Alexander Borodin's great works, the most famous being the opera Prince Igor, including the popular "Polovtsian Dances".

Why ANY negatives.......?!
Please enlighten me, thank you.
SUBLIME!!!
Yet ANOTHER tear gushing performance!!!
The first time I've had the privilege of hearing this work!
Such senority, vibrato and musicianship!!!
My mother was a professional vocalist who toured Europe in the mid-50's and accompanied herself on the troubadour harp (even performed for Queen Elizabeth).
My sister was the harp faculty at the University of Denver, first-call union harpist and played with the Denver Symphony Orchestra. Her husband retired from the Denver Symphony Orchestra on cello after 34 yrs and from the Colorado Central City Opera Orchestra after 25yrs.
I sang in the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Chorus for 30yrs.
Three times in the NYC Carnegie Hall to sold out performances, our chorus augmented the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus twice for the Ravinia summer season opening night concerts (14,000 each time) each time under the baton of James Levine.
My point being I've been fortunate to have heard many great artists in performance over the years.
I know "good stuff" when I hear it.
THIS is "good stuff"!

A wonderful concerto that should be heard much more often.

I've started learning it just yesterday. I listened to this recording about 2 months ago for the first time and playing it just made me fall in love with it even more.
Bob Mob
Correct!

My favorite violin concerto and I love her interpretation the most among those I've listened to so far. This is such a lovely concerto that it's wondering why many violinists don't play it as often as other major concertos.

I am 69 and this is the first time I am listening to Glazunov! I wonder where I was all these years to miss out on this remarkable Violin Concerto! The playing of Hilary Hahn is super and well supported by the orchestra and conductor! What a wonderful Concerto to say the least!

I’m ... not 69, but this is also the first time I’ve heard Glazunov and I felt the same way
Hunter Helvey
I highly, highly encourage you to listen to the Glazunov Saxophone concerto! Glazunov's works are a standard in classical saxophone repertoire. Nikita Zimin's recording is an excellent one!
Jasper Kloek
How nice that life has so much for us to discover, even at 69!
Anand Samuel
@Hunter Helvey Thanks very much for informing. Never seen any Saxophone Concerto. Should check it out.

Glazunov's 'The Seasons' was one of the very few of my collection my mother allowed to accompany Sunday dinner. Strongly recommend if you're not familiar with it.
