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 born in St. Petersburg on August 10, 1865.
Glazunov was drunk at the premiere of Rachmaninoff's First Symphony, for example, and conducted atrociously - a debacle that the press blamed on the young composer, who became an alcoholic in turn, unable to compose until cured by a hypnotherapist.
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.

Glazunov había sido un hombre de posición y muy guapo, y ahora era pobre y estaba delgadísimo.
Un día Glazunov envió a decirle a Sofronitsky que viniera urgentemente a su casa a verle.
Glazunov abrió un ojo y se quedó mirando un rato largo a Sofronitsky, y por fin, moviendo lentamente la lengua le preguntó: “Dime, por favor, te gusta la Hammerklavier?” [Se trata de la sonata para piano 29 de Beethoven.] Sofronitsky contestó con facilidad que claro que sí, que le gustaba mucho.

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.

Alexander Konstantinovich 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, the first completed at the age of sixteen, 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.

In "The 20-th Century Mystery", one of Glazunov's best-known works painted in the late 70s, the Russian history is intertwined with the history of mankind.
Russia is the subject of another of Glazunov's paintings - "The Funeral" - a symbolic farewell to the Russia of Pushkin and Yesenin, Tsvetayeva and Blok.
Once Glazunov was struck by the words of the 19-th century paitner Victor Vasnetsov who said: "My art is a candle lit before an icon".

More to the point all the usual Glazunov hallmarks are there: lightning stabbing woodwind, stomping rhythmic impact and melody welling up, Elgarian flightiness and a Mendelssohnian carefree smile playing benevolently over the Scherzo.
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).

Glazunov was thus a contradictory character, both of himself and of his circumstances.
Festive gestures usher in the trumpets, positively prancing on the distinctive ritornello of a variational rondo cast in the cumulative style of a Russian dance, and festooned with a bewitching array of felicities.
The subtle radiance of the earlier movements is upstaged by dazzling disco lights, as Glazunov creates colourful effects for his soloist and matches them, blow for blow, with complementary orchestral effects.

Though the purported hostility of the state boosted Glazunov's reputation, it is hard now to see its roots.
He had apprenticed in the studio of the arch-conservative artist Boris Ioganson, he rejected modernist abstraction for a fleshy realist style, and his forthright Russian nationalism was in keeping with official tastes of the late Brezhnev era.
Glazunov's ability to defy the Soviet establishment while belonging to it, and to critique communist ideas without showing the disloyalty that many average Russians attributed to the dissidents, brought him huge popularity.

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.

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.
However, to judge by the current catalogs of recorded music, Glazunov is well represented.
In the last concert, we presented the music of a composer-teacher and his illustrious pupil: Frank Bridge and Sir Benjamin Britten.
