Deve ser inebriante para o arranjador mergulhar no mundo musical de um gênio como Glazunov. Beleza profunda, inspiração, a máximo degrau a que pode chegar o ser humano!
A wonderful score to a superb ballet. Thank you

Robert Irving conducts this beautifully and the playing is lovely. I played the piano for him once in a ballet rehearsal of Swan Lake. He was a true gentleman.
