Title: Great Recordings
Product review: I heard part of The Seasons played over the radio and knew, at once, I had to have the recording. Unfortunately, it is hard to come by. The Seasons by Glazunov has such energy in the performance and is played so well by the Leningrad Philharmonic that it would be hard to find a better one. The one problem is the dated sound. The Kalinnikov Second Symphony dates to 1953 and the Glazunov to 1969. The ear adjusts to the sound in the Kalinnikov somewhat but the sound is remarkably antiquated. The Glazunov is better recorded but is dry. Both works are so superbly played that it is a shame not to have them, so if you don't mind the sound buy it.
