¡Glazunov: Orchestral Works Vol.18
¡Dmitry Yablonsky (conductor)
Description
[Machine Translation] Recently, only Khachaturian's music has become famous when it comes to masked balls, but this piece by Glazunov is based on the same work by Mikhail Lermontov. Glazunov composed this piece in 1912-13 and premiered it in 1917. However, it was banned for 30 years because it was considered "disturbing to the public morals" at the time. Khachaturian composed another piece on the same subject in 1941. By that time, Glazunov's work may have become old-fashioned. However, although the music is not as straightforwardly tragic as Khachaturian's, it is an excellent collection of songs that fully depict the madness that lurks in the human heart.
