Reinhold Glière (1875-1956) was a Russian Composer. He was of Ukrainian, German and Polish descent.
He entered the Kiev school of music in 1891, where he was taught violin by Otakar Ševčík, among others. In 1894 Glière entered the Moscow Conservatory where he studied with Sergei Taneyev (counterpoint), Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov (composition), Jan Hřímalý (violin), Anton Arensky and Georgi Conus (both harmony). He graduated in 1900, having composed a one-act opera Earth and Heaven (after Lord Byron) and received a gold medal in composition. As Taneyev's pupil and an 'associated' member of the circle around the Petersburg publisher Mitrofan Belyayev, it appeared Glière was destined to be a chamber musician.
In 1902 Arensky wrote about the Sextet, Op. 1, "one recognizes Taneyev easily as a model and this does praise Glière". Unlike Taneyev, Glière felt more attracted to the national Russian tradition as he was taught by Rimsky-Korsakov's pupil Ippolitov-Ivanov. Alexander Glazunov even certified an "obtrusively Russian style" to Glière's 1st Symphony.In the following year Glière accepted a teaching post at the Moscow Gnesin School of Music.
Taneyev found two private pupils for him in 1902: Nikolai Myaskovsky and the eleven-year-old Sergei Prokofiev, whom Glière taught on Prokofiev's parental estate Sontsovka.
Glière studied conducting with Oskar Fried in Berlin from 1905 to 1908. One of his co-students was Serge Koussevitzky, who conducted the premiere of Glière's Symphony No. 2, Op. 25, on 23 January 1908 in Berlin.
In 1913 he gained an appointment to the school of music in Kiev, which was raised to the status of conservatory shortly after, as Kyiv Conservatory. A year later he was appointed director. In Kiev he taught among others Levko Revutsky, Boris Lyatoshinsky and Vladimir Dukelsky (who became well known in the West as Vernon Duke).
After 1917 Glière never visited Western Europe, as many other Russian composers did. He gave concerts in Siberia and other remote areas of Russia instead. He was working in Uzbekistan as a "musical development helper" at the end of the 1930s.
In 1920 Glière was also in the Moscow Conservatory where he (intermittently) taught until 1941. Boris Alexandrov, Aram Khachaturian, Alexander Davidenko, Lev Knipper and Alexander Mosolov were some of his pupils from the Moscow era.

So evocative, these compositions. Beautiful performance.

[@PianoScoreVids]

Gliere-very tasteful

[@johnstag1391]

Yes, deliciously delightful.

[@drhall343]

Gliere is always so damn majestic. 😍

[@Queeen7q]

Rachmaninov spoke about Gliere: ' His name suits him so well: "Рейнгольд" - 'rein gold' - 'pure gold' " :))))))

[@steveegallo3384]

Queeen q -- That's great news for me....I always resented that Rakhmaninov paid insufficient homage and credit to Glière....whose masterpieces he so often echoes......

[@tarikeld11]

His name is Rein"hold", not "gold"

[@Queeen7q]

@@tarikeld11 I know, but Rachmaninov told that :)

[@joeboyle5864]

@@steveegallo3384 “hold” means “noble”. So it still seems to apply. To me, that harp concerto is a 1000 carat diamond . It’s the best “wake up to music” ever written!

Love this!

Lovely! Thanks for posting this!

[@marco119w7]

The "Chagrin" op.21 no.3 has dissonances and textures that remind me of Szymanowski

[@Queeen7q]

Nikolai Rakov was a Gliere's pupil also.
...Conductor and pianist Boris Khaikin described in his memories how he began to study some theoretical subjects and visited Gliere's house: in Khaikin's childhood, he and his brothers and sisters played a lot of Gliere, like all the 'musical children' in pre-revolutionary Russia, and now such a famous person will teach him itself, it's hard to believe!...

[@Kaoru_Hasegawa_piano]

Beautiful!

[@dhackj]

Exquisite!

[@steveegallo3384]

.....and that Mazurka....now...NOW...we finally discern Chopin's inspiration....(the dates don't matter)

[@Emilien-hy3sy]

Très beaux morceaux !
