		Glazunov, a pupil of Rimsky-Korsakov, also received encouragement from Belyayev, an influential patron and publisher.
		Glazunov completed nine symphonies all of which reflect the temperament of the Russian school.
		Glazunov's ballets include Raymonda, first staged in St. Petersburg in 1898, with choreography by Marius Petipa, Les ruses d'amour followed in 1900, with The Seasons in the same year, a ballet adopted by Pavlova.

	Tackling the Glazunov Saxophone Quartet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Glazunov has an international reputation, the music is well made, and the piece is one of the few for saxophone quartet that is a large-scale work longer than twenty minutes.
		Alexander Glazunov, or Glazounov, or Glazunow, or Glazounow, was born in St. Petersburg in 1865.
		Glazunov was obviously well aware of the string quartet tradition and composed four-movement works for quartet, as well as many shorter works.

	Alexander Glazunov
		Glazunov was born in St. Petersburg on August 10, 1865.
		Glazunov was a conservative composer in the post-romantic idiom influenced, as he said, by the music of Brahms, poles apart from Rimsky’s other most famous pupil, Igor Stravinsky.
		Indeed, it is said that when Prokofiev’s Sythian Suite was introduced in St. Petersburg in 1916, Glazunov rushed from the hall, with his hands over his ears, to protect himself from the onslaught of the music, and perhaps the century as well.

	ArkivMusic \| Glazunov: Complete Symphonies Vol 1 / Otaka, Bbc Wales Nso
		Alexander Glazunov's Symphony No. 2 (completed in 1886, when the composer was 21) is distinguished by its quintessentially Russian thematic style, which like Borodin's juxtaposes "oriental" and "occidental" melodies.
		Glazunov's motivic development technique stems directly from contemporary Russian practice (already he displays the mastery of orchestration and large forms that would characterize his later work), so any fan of 19th century Russian symphonic music will find much that is comfortably familiar here.
		Glazunov's Mazurka in G major (1888) actually is a self-contained suite of dances (the dance suite was a popular form of the Russian National school) and points the way toward the imaginative and vibrant style of his later ballet scores.

	Alexander Glazunov
		Glazunov's Second Symphony and a tone poem, Stenka Razin, were immediately successful, both with the public and critics, and attracted the attention of Franz Liszt, who conducted the First Symphony at Weimar in 1884.
		Glazunov's remains were transferred to St.-Petersburg and put to rest at the cemetery of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
		Glazunov himself later refuted the legend that he was able to write down from memory the piano rendition of the overture that Borodin had played for him just once.

		Glazunov, a pupil of Rimsky-Korsakov, received encouragement also from Belyayev, an influential patron and publisher, whose activities succeeded and largely replaced the earlier efforts of Balakirev to inspire the creation of national Russian music.
		He joined the teaching staff of the St. Petersburg Conservatory in 1899 and after the student protests and turmoil of 1905 was elected director, a position he retained until 1930, although from 1928 he had remained abroad, chiefly in Paris, where he died in 1936.
		In addition to his nine symphonies and a variety of other orchestral works, Glazunov wrote a Violin Concerto, completed in 1904, when he was at the height of his powers as a composer.

		Glazunov's mother, a piano pupil of Mily Balakirev, took her obviously talented son to her teacher, and on his advice the boy in 1880 began study with Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov.
		Glazunov continued to compose, producing two string quartets, two overtures on Greek folk tunes, and the symphonic poem Stenka Razin.
		At that time he was the recognised heir of the nationalist group and composed according to their principles; he also absorbed the influence of Franz Liszt, whom he visited in Weimar, Germany, in 1884.

		Alexander Rudin is well attuned to these pieces and 'sings' them with deft subtlety.
		Glazunov in the first movement is rather pleasantly discursive and relaxed in the diffuse second movement.
		The woodwind of the MSO deserve special mention for their brilliance and character which is also much in evidence in the Scherzo (Glazunov is always good at these).

	Composer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Alexander Glazunov was born July 29, 1865 in St Petersburg, and lived a comfortable life as the son of a successful bookseller and publisher father.
		Glazunov became his favorite pupil; in his teacher's words he improved "not from day to day but from hour to hour." Rimsky-Korsakov and Balakirev encouraged the youth to compose and when, at just 16 years old, Glazunov produced his first symphony, they saw to it that it was performed.
		In the 1899, Glazunov was appointed professor at the St Petersburg Conservatory.

		The student rebellion of 1905 was devastating for some and inspiring for others; for Alexander Glazunov it turned out to be a rather fortuitous career move.
		A lowly tutor at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, he resigned in protest over the firing of Rimsky-Korsakov, but was soon elevated to the directorship of the institution after most of the demands of the activists were met.
		The most talented pupil that Glazunov trained at the conservatory was surely Dmitri Shostakovich, who himself quotes a Wagnerian fate motif in his own final symphony.

		A precocious student of Rimsky-Korsakov, Glazunov was probably the last of the established composers from the Russian 19th century School.
		It is generally agreed that the best of Glazunov’s music is to be found in his ballets.
		Chopiniana displays Glazunov’s brilliance at orchestration and conductor Vladimir Ziva effortlessly and and with accomplishment brings out the wide range of colours and blends together the movements with a continuity that has been so often lacking in alternative versions.

		Only Alexander Glazunov is fairly well known to concert audiences and record buyers from among this conservative Russian trio.
		All three of the works here are worthwhile compositions, though, with the Glazunov the most substantial and probably deserving of greater attention.
		So, it came as a pleasant surprise to me that his Second Piano Concerto (1917), which he must have invested with special effort in the knowledge it was his Opus 100 composition, is a finely crafted, beautiful work in the Lisztian concerto mold.

		Alexander Glazunov (1866-1936) lived long enough to see modernism take root throughout Europe, including Russia where his greatest student, Dmitri Shostakovich, was already making a name for himself.
		This collection takes bits and pieces from various releases in Naxos' Glazunov series and structures them in such a way as to provide a good hour's worth of listening.
		Glazunov's showstoppers are here, mostly in three tasty excerpts from The Seasons (including the brilliant "Autumn") as well as the allegro from the Violin Concerto (the soloist is Ilya Kaler, the orchestra the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, all of whom are excellent).

		The Third Symphony is Alexander Glazunov's largest, particularly apparent in a performance as expansive as this one, but it's also one of his more persuasive serious orchestral works.
		In his own way, he really does rise to the challenge, writing a first movement with some impressive, dramatic developments, a delicious scherzo with a zany solo glockenspiel part, a typically warm and lyrical slow movement, and a finale that rounds off the whole work in an appropriately grand manner.
		This was the symphony that inspired Rachmaninov in his own First Symphony: Glazunov's first movement development is clearly the father of Rachmaninov's, and even employs the same tunes.
