Glazunov – Overture No. 2 on Greek Themes, Op. 6 (1883)

Overture No. 2 on Greek Themes, Op. 6 (1883) The young Alexander Glazunov (1865–1936) dedicated this early piece to his mentor, the eminent Russian composer Mily Balakirev, who conducted its premiere. Having studied Greek and Near Eastern folk melodies, Glazunov transformed them into the nationalistic, somewhat exoticized musical language of the Russian Mighty Handful, of which Balakirev was a prominent member. Like his composition teacher Nikolai RImsky-Korsakov, Glazunov demonstrates a natural mastery of orchestral textures and vibrant colors in this concert overture. Conductor: Evgeny Svetlanov USSR State Symphony Orchestra
