Schubert / Chudak / Naumova - Im Grase Lieg Ich - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Trio Cantabile - Fantasia / Concertante Opus 256 [COMPACT DISCS] date 12/17/1996

Alexander Konstantinovich Glazunov was undoubtedly the most gifted Russian composer of his generation - that is to say, those born during the 1860s - and his profound musical aptitude led him to take full advantage of the educational facilities underpinning the burgeoning interest in the arts that grew exponentially in Russia during the second half of the 19th-century. He was not alone, but Glazunov's superlative gifts did not lead him initially to a conservatoire. He began musical studies privately with Rimsky-Korsakov (twenty-one years his senior) rather than enter the St Petersburg Academy as just another gifted student.
