What a wonderful, underplayed work. Huge props to Hilary Hahn, who has been championing both new music and these somewhat forgotten gems throughout her career. She could fill concert halls all over the world playing Mendelssohn, Brahms and Sibelius until the cows come home, but she consistently chooses surprising and rewarding programs.
Apparently bad conductor but great composer, many people specially the Russians consider that Glazunov as an antithesis of Tchaikovsky , which works are considered much more European and not Russian , but at least in this concert the Glazunov feelings are totally European (that is my impression) , as if it were may be Lalo, Bruch, etc, and even it is written in just 20 min, nothing strange in that time. Great interpretation of maestra Hilary Hahn , Semyon Bychkov and WDR orchestra , and thanks for that wonderful piece
