Reinhold Glière - Symphony No. 1, Op. 8 (1900)

[@louie-u1f]

my youth orchestra ust played the second movement at our concert earlier today, and it was so much fun! would highly reccomend and it is such an amazing symphony.

[@kguy152000]

What an amazing work of art! I can't imagine why this was not well received at its premiere.

[@paulprocopolis]

Neither can I - but then again Rachmaninoff's first symphony was also a failure on its first performance!

Like the law, the Public is an @$$ at any given moment, with possible later regrets.

[@anandsamuel1978]

@@paulprocopolis Your absolutely right. Rachmaninoff went through a temporary failure to reap rich success following his symphony no. 2 and all the other brilliant works he did thereafter! One may say that failure is the stepping stone to success!

[@ThreadBomb]

@@paulprocopolis It's generally thought that Rach's first symphony flopped because the conductor (Glazunov) was very drunk on the night.

I have heard this on a CD many times recently and fell in love with this music.

[@Apfelstrudl]

Tanejew clearly taught him someone good counterpoint. Orchestration also already works really well. I especially like the second 5/4 movement.

It was my favourtie!

@@jakehouston3377 -- True....but nothing compared to his Second Symphony COLOSSUS!

[@gregorypalmer5403]

Oh my. Well, overlooking that, Borodin had a 5/4 2d mvt too in his Second. There are some obvious Borodin inspirations here along with Rimsky et al but so what ? Beautiful music.

[@gregorypalmer5403]

​@@steveegallo3384I love all 3 Gliere Symphonies but you are right, #2 is a Cololossus. And Downes does it so well.

i hear kalinnikov like sounds after the first crescendo !

[@rogerknox9147]

The audience at the premiere of Gliere's Symphony No. 1 must have lacked discernment, to put it mildly. Here, with the symphonic debut of a young talented composer, they should have recognized that this was something special.

Какая солнечная сфера Раскрылась в творчестве Глиэра! Тут растерялся б сам Орфей! Но у Глиэра - звукам мера, И в ритм восторженная вера, И стройность бешеных идей! Он не гекзаметром Гомера, Не одой Глюка-кавалера В своих симфониях звучит. Простою речью, - но не серой! - Он в дружбе с нашей славной эрой О счастье мира говорит. (Сергей Городецкий)

El Cuarto movimiento me recuerda harto a Tchaikowsky (Sobre todo el 4° Mov.)..
