Description

The Soviet composer Reinhold Glière (1875-1956) was deeply influenced by the 19th-century Russian romantic tradition. As demonstrated by the short pieces in this album, Glière displayed a particular talent for expressing a melody in simple, direct terms while simultaneously crafting a colorful, romantic soundscape.
