  • Wonderful!! Thank you so much,TC, for your very quick response.

    BTW, I know I said earlier (on the R-K page) that recordings of this concerto are extremely rare; but the more I think about it, I'm not sure if I've ever heard ANY other recordings besides this one.

    Do you know if there are any others?

  • You are very welcome!

    In Richter's discography there are only these:

    9/3/49 - Moscow - Live - USSR State O./Agarkov

    16/4/51 - Moscow - Live - Moscow Youth S.O./Kondrashin

    52 - Leningrad - L.P.O./Eliasberg - LENINGRAD MASTERS LM 1324

    14/12/52 - Moscow - Moscow Youth S.O./Kondrashin - MELODIYA/BMG 29468 2 (CD)

    I have only 1952 recording.

see all

  • @snaaptaker The best recording I've heard is Oxana Yablonskaya's version. Absolutely wonderful!

  • Yes, cl427x - it IS scarily like Rach's Symphony in parts!!

  • Almost scarily reminiscent of the third movement of Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2... though played very nicely and nevertheless beautiful.

  • I never truly got his Violin Concerto near my heart...but I am trying to get Mravinsky's interpretation of the Glazunov 4, 5, 6th Symphonies. I think he recorded the Seasons also. Anyway, thank you.

  • Try his ballet: "The Seasons" Philharmonia orch/Evgeny Svetlanov,(by far the greatest interpretation).

    Also, his Violin Concerto in A minor, one of the great concertos; for shattering virtuosity try the vintage Heifetz recording,(RCA), or Milstein(if you can find it).

  • Just checked: modern recordings of both concertos on Hyperion, (S Coombes). Also Naxos,(O. Yablonskaya); Havn't heard either.

  • Elena Glazunov, the composer's daughter, recorded both his concertos, on an old Telefunken disc,(LP 33),with rather dim sound and cautious playing, and a poorly tuned orchestra,(Hamburg Phil.?) This is much better in every way, including the orchestral interpretation. However, i believe there are modern recordings, surely in Hyperion's Romantic series and i'd be surprose if Naxos hadn't yet made its claim on this repertoire.

    Great to hear this fine interpretation.

  • Kiril Kondrashin is such a great conductor and thisa is such a great performance with him and Richter

  • Oh my.. Beautiful!! Does anyone has this concerto's sheet music?

  • This is the very first Glazunov piece I ever listened to. Can somebody make recommendations to me on Glazunov? He seems to be a intimidating composer for me to get into...
