A logical albeit rare association of symphonies by the composer of Islamey and Tamara, the ornerstone of the famous Mighty Five. As Glinka's protege he was somewhat hampered by imperial obligations. His own proteges, Moussorgsky and Borodine, revealed their true genius. In this album two prestigious conductors do them justice.
