Title: MENDELSOHN-BARTHOLDY + BORODIN = GLIERE...
Review: I mostly concur with the other reviewer--minus any complaints: this is a wonderful recording of some all-too-rarely performed turn-of-the-century chamber music.Gliere was a really brilliant and talented musical professional from the same school as Rachmaninov and Scriabin. Aesthetically, however, his ethos is that of Tschykovsky and Borodin. And here is the key: Borodin was deeply influenced by Mendelsohn. The result is that Gliere's chamber music for strings--while having Russian inflections--largely reflects Mendelsohn's muse.With such a combination, one can scarcely go wrong!
