About
Warner Classics & Jazz are proud to continue its celebrated Serebrier / Glazunov symphonic cycle with the 5th release in the series. Grammy Award-winning conductor and composer José Serebrier guides the Royal Scottish National Orchestra through a stunning Glazunov cycle – which Fanfare called “made in heaven” and which continues to draw attention to this oft-neglected composer. The Observer wrote; "Serebrier's intensity and precision draws attention to detail previously unsuspected of this neglected composer". The reviews of the previous RSNO/Serebrier Glazunov recordings called the performances "outstanding" and "a perfect introduction to Glazunov's sweet pleasures" (BBC Music Magazine / 5 stars). The release of Glazunov’s Symphony No.5 and The Seasons drew much acclaim. “Quite superb, rigorously thought out, and brilliantly executed,” wrote Gramophone, while Classics Today thought that “Serebrier's vibrant and vital rendition lifts Glazunov out of second-rate status and reveals his work to be one of the finer symphonies from 19th Century Russia.

November 2009
Serebrier brings energy, commitment and belief to every bar. Surely the best Glazunov cycle yet.
December 2009
…Serebrier lavishes enthusiasm and affection on all these scores, to particularly striking effect in the Third Symphony, whose slow movement I cannot remember justifying its length so eloquently.
