Composed by Reinhold Glière
Conducted by Leon Botstein
Product Description
Album Description
Known mainly for his nationalistic works, including the magnificent 'Hymn for the Great City,' from his ballet The Bronze Horsemen, Reinhold Mortizevich Gliere (1875-1956) was one of the most innovative and evocative Russian composers of the late Romantic period. His works were studied and praised in the USSR as the examples of a perfect pairing of European form and Eastern folklore. Influenced greatly by Tchaikovsky, Gliere began his studies at the Kiev Music College at age 16 and then three years later entered the Moscow Conservatory. His graduation composition was his Symphony No. 1.
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.
Press reaction to the albums original release:
"Sensuality bordering on lusciousness with Botstein compelling as the LSO fire on all cylinders." - Gramophone
"A very collectable disc." - Gramophone
"Arguably the most persuasive Ilya Murometz we have ever had." - International Record Review
