Glazunov's Second Symphony stands as a monument to late-nineteenth-century Russian orchestral writing—a work of genuine grandeur that sits comfortably between the romantic expansiveness of his contemporaries and a more disciplined classical architecture. Composed in the 1880s, this F-sharp minor score unfolds across five movements with the kind of architectural confidence that made Glazunov a pillar of the St. Petersburg conservatory tradition. Vladimir Fedoseyev, a conductor steeped in Russian symphonic repertoire, brings both warmth and structural clarity to this sprawling score, letting the rich string textures and brass writing breathe naturally. Mobile Fidelity's remastering captures the orchestral depth with impressive presence—this is a symphony that rewards close listening, revealing layers of melodic invention and orchestral color that reveal why Glazunov remained such an influential figure well into the twentieth century.
