Reinhold Glière - Symphony No.1 in E flat-major (1900) 

I've been listening to a CD of this many times lately and it's become one of my favorites.

Euphoric, transportive.

A big hug from Spain, friend Kulhau for sharing such wonderful music. Thanks

Beautiful symphony. It's a youth composition, with a strong influence of Tchaikovsky.

A satisfying and ultimately joyful piece of music.

how many interesting composers there were in 19th century!

Very good. Tuneful throughout like a Glazanov. Thanks, I am getting familiar now with Gliere's symphonies.

Great pairing with outer space. I don't know this Romantic work real well, but in general, like his writing. (I went to school with Steve Gunzenhauser) How's your isolation progressing? This is Kelly's last day at school in 2020. She's cooking up a neat Christmas Dinner for the two of us: roast beef (horseradish for me), green-bean casserole, mashed potatoes, Christmas Cake. What's Alden's family menu? Feeling good for a change. AAH! Hope your weeks's going fine, and that you have a nice Eve, and trip to Florida,. Of course, we miss you, and hope to make it up down the line.

Tchaikovsky died seven years earlier but his compositional spirit lived into the early 20th-century with this nice Symphony by Gliere (I guess especially Movs II - IV). Rimsky Korsakov's influence is also there.

An excellent symphony !

Awesome!....

This music is absolutely sumptuous .... rich melodic speech, harmonies breathtaking orchestration constantly renewed in the use of the stamps of the orchestra, in short a Babylonian sound architecture erected by humble and immense master !

Awesome piece, the only other thing I'm familiar with of Gliere's is his 12 violin duos. This piece is stunning.

A 15 year-old with nothing better to do than compose a notable symphony!

Muito bonita. Gostei muito!

"like" on 23 April 2016 :) Gliere lived in Stalinist USSR, and LOTS of music from that era has been forgotten. With the advent of You Tube, this neglect is being corrected. Also, Gliere had the very very bad luck in that Stalin called Gliere his favorite composer....the kiss of death to his reputation. Sort of like how Wagner is still boycotted by some due to his being the favorite composer of Hitler. Fortunately, YOU TUBE makes such boycotts silly, and a good thing to.

Un compositor inmortal y único.

Beautiful symphony!

The first movement reminds me of Magnard's Fourth.

How do I identify the creator of this cover art? Thanks in advance. Gliere is so tuneful, as has been said here.

All the best symphonies were written between 1880 and 1920!

A great way to stop and listen.

what orch is this?

My observation is that the music of most Soviet-era composers had a cold and uninspired flavor. Gliere's music is not like that at all. He was truly a classical romantic. Nearly (if not totally) everything he wrote brims with melody and warmth.

Francamente a me non piace.

Never a Ukrainian composer
