YourClassical obviously continues on the theme of "spring" with its giveaways this week.
Today, we are being offered,
free, the long (13 minute, 49 second) piece by Russian composer Alexander Glazunov called simply,
Spring.
This piece is taken from a Naxos album
Orchestral Works - 6 Glazunov. This
free piece from the album, as well as the rest of them, are performed by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, with Igor Golovschin directing. There is more information about the album at this dedicated Naxos webpage for it located
here.
I was not familiar with Alexander Glazunov nor his music. I found this piece to be generally soft and mellow, broken only by a few mild (in volume) crescendos. I could listen to it all day. I look forward to exploring more of Glazunov's works in the future.
To simply listen to the piece, point your browser to
this webpage, which is YourClassical's dedicated webpage for the
free piece. There is a stream bar located just beneath the top image of the album cover. To download the
free piece, click on "Direct MP3 download link," located on
the same webpage. The
free download is available, until tomorrow's comes online between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time.
