First of eight programmes including all of Glazunov's symphonies in performances by Russian orchestras.
His symphonies cover the major part of Glazunov's composing career, from his brilliant promise as a student under Rimsky-Korsakov, when Balakirev conducted his First Symphony, to the 1905 Revolution, which virtually saw the end of his inspiration.
This week: Symphony No 1, in E major, Op 5
MOSCOW RADIO SYMPHONY
