Glazounov, Alexander. (1865-1936)
Signed Program Ensemble
A desirable ensemble from the important Russian composer, including a signed and inscribed January 17th, 1930 Boston Symphony Orchestra program sheet from an all-Glazounov performance which included his celebrated Violin Concerto (with Benno Rabinof). Nicely mounted with a reproduction portrait photograph to approx. 10 x 15 inches.A student of Rimsky-Korsakov, the first of his nine symphonies premiered when Glazounov was only 16 years old, and due in part to the advocacy of Franz Liszt, his work soon became well known in Russia and abroad. He was an important pedagogue, professor and later Director at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. Two years before the signing of this photograph, he left Russia to tour Europe and the United States as a conductor, and eventually settled in Paris. Signed programs from Glazounov are rather uncommon. (4979)
