Symphony no. 3 "Ilya Muromets"
Album by Reinhold Moritzevich Glière & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Harold Farberman
Symphony No. 3 "Ilya Muromets" is a symphonic work by Russian composer Reinhold Glière, completed in 1911. The large-scale, programme-driven symphony employs expansive orchestration, folk-inspired thematic material and dramatic contrasts, standing as a late-Romantic nationalist statement in Glière's output and reflecting broader currents in early 20th-century Russian symphonic music.
First released: 1988
