One of the best of Glière's works and one of his few works that share the musical idiom employed in his 3rd symphony. Gorgeous !

Harry, you listen to everything!
This is a fine example of Gliere's mastery of tone-painting and orchestration, and of creating a flowing dramatic arc, reaching its climax - perhaps a shipwreck on the rocks - and its tragic aftermath, brief but unmistakable.
Probably my favorite symphonic poem after Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy and Rachmaninoff's Isle of the Dead.

And they're all from the same year! 1908 sure was a great year for symphonic poems.
75 years and I finally discovered this beautiful music!

I'm 72 but 'discovered' his 2nd Symphony 15 years ago and it guided me through deep depression in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, USA.....What a debt Rakhmaninov owes to Gliére!

Marvellous, absolutely fabulous!!!!!
Luscious and overwhelming! The works Glière wrote around this time (1908) rival those of Scriabin for their colour and adventurousness.

I put this on in the background (I know, shame on me) and almost thought I was listening to Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy around 14:30! Gliere has a fascinating harmonic language both very present here as well as in the second movement of his "Ilya Muromets" symphony. Not to be reductionist, but it strikes me as what were to happen if French impressionistic orchestration were to meet Russian romanticism.

@@jeanghika7653 - Sabaneyev spread the legend that Gliere was Belgian, but he was born in Kiev and lived his entire life in Russia. The rumor probably arose beause Gliere added the grave accent to his first "e". And Molotov was not related to Scriabin. See the Wikipedia articles for both.
A beautiful work - very compelling...
Gorgeous!!!!
enchanting - gives me chills
What a beautiful piece.
Oh dear, this Symphonic Poem nearly caused me to jump off from my ship!
Gliere's Kriesis is sublime. Especially the 2nd & 3rd movements
Beautifully otherworldly. Lavina Morticia.
Can't say I like it, but it really seems to be a masterpiece of orchestration
An essay in Russian fantastic harmony.
it would seem that You have been able to find precious references, given in the form of many composers' names : well: please: let me express my humble congratulations for Your special effort to achieve this goal Best Regards ps: i am a fan of arnold schoenberg

Is there voices in this? at 5:20 i can hear the sound of a voice singing, and again at 14:15. if he isnt using actual voices then Gliere accomplished some sonic sorcery to create a siren song

I think it's the 2 flutes playing in their lowest register at a unsion that is creating that effect.

Now I know the the source of inspiration of The Parfume movie scoring.
It gets a little Wagnerian running up to the climax.
5:47 theme sounds similar to one in Symphony no.3

This is the path Impressionism should have taken in music, not the French bout-tickling! This is the richness and thickness of colours! It is astounding. How many pianos will one need to write a proper reduction? 03:30 - two seems not enough.
