Gliere Glitters
Stephen A. Downs | North Hollywood, CA USA | 10/26/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"A nice rendering of a piece that is not often heard. If you are a fan of the late 19th century Russian national sound, you will thoroughly enjoy this symphony. It is the ultimate program piece, reflecting a diversity of influences from Berlioz to Borodin. But what is most interesting, though, is to hear and recognize the sounds, pacing, and phrasing that would be taken to a new level by Gliere's pupil, Aram Khachaturian.

Decent recording, but feels drawn-out

"This is not so much a shot at the recording. The quality seems quite good to my ears and I didn't hear any gross slip-ups by the performers.



Compared to Gliere's Symphony No. 2, I don't really understand why the third one is so popular. Some parts of Symphony No. 3 are impressive, but I got a little bored listening to certain parts of the last movement. It really felt drawn-out. Symphony No. 2 is more accessible for me since listening to it isn't as much of a chore.



Nevertheless, you can't beat Naxos' price and I think that it's an acceptable price to at least find out what all the fuss is about."
