Description:
Alexander Glazunov’s Concerto in E-flat Major, Op. 109, composed in 1934, is one of the Russian composer’s last major works. The work captivates with its successful blend of virtuosity and expressiveness, as well as the beauty of its melodies. Unlike the traditional form with several separate movements, this concerto unfolds in a single musical flow in which the various moods merge seamlessly into one another. By turns lyrical and brilliant, and repeatedly imbued with a certain nostalgia, Glazunov’s music reveals a sophisticated and deeply romantic soundscape. His elegant yet expansive musical language emphasizes both expressiveness and virtuosity. This accessible and captivating concerto attests to the skill of a composer who preserved the Romantic tradition while at the same time imbuing it with his own personal touch.
