I was very fortunate to have gotten to play Principal Trombonist live on this piece back around 1983. It is still my favorite classical piece of music to listen to!
I only just heard about this piece from the 1971 CSO low brass excerpt album. It’s one of my favorite excerpts, so I had to discover the piece for myself! Sounds like great trombone parts, so count me as jealous!
@@joshuaadams5335 There are so many goosebump moments, both while playing and listening to others play. I think I even teared up a bit here and there from the deep emotions of this music, based upon tragic heroism. 1st trombone is in alto clef, and very high. Does not go quite as high as a few other classical pieces for trombone, but it is way up there most of the time, and plays an important role (as does the rest of the low brass) in this piece. I'm tempted to write more, since like I said, this is still my fav classical piece, and I have played and listened to a lot of classical music. I tend to like the darker, foreboding stuff, and tend to include that feeling a lot in my own compositions, which over time, have moved from rock to a kind of neo-classical style. LOL, I noticed that TH-cam advertised a piece of music, Schumann's Symphony #3, where 1st Trombone plays even higher than this piece, up to 2 Eb's above the bass cleff a few times(but in alto clef). Beethoven's 5th actually goes up to the F above that, and got to play both these other pieces also on 1st. What a joy it is to play great music in a good orchestra!
Jay Friedman mentioned this piece in an interview for Chopsaver. Damn this is a criminally underrated piece of music.
What a stunning biography this man had. Son of the German wind instrument maker Ernst Moritz Glier from Saxony and Polish mother Józefa Korczak from Warsaw, born in Ukraine, later a Soviet citizen. He was the only composer who was awarded three times the most prestigious music prize of pre-revolutionary Russia, named after M. I. Glinka, and the most prestigious prize of post-revolutionary, Soviet Russia - under the patronage of Stalin.

-- Amazing....Thanks for this Intelligence.....from San Agustinillo!
Today, almost 88! But "new" is a wonderful word. A discovery? Amazing. For over an hour, I've been treated to music I just never heard. There is still a whole new world out there if you try to discover it all. In my life, I've been very traditional. Programmed by others. Once in awhile... Chairman of a full symphony in California. Roommate in college and I had classical music playing 24/7.
This was in composer's life, in the 50s. Gliere just doesn't get proper coverage by the US media. Not only spectacular music, but a great screenplay about the composer, too! Thank you friends. Thank you media, I have so much to look forward to, every day.
very curious, what is the screenplay you refer to?
This is a stunning symphony ... staggered why our major orchestras neglect it. Often it reminds me of Scriabin, with its scintilating orchestration and colourful polyphony et cetera!
Ich habe auch an Scryabin gedacht. Die beiden haben ihre große Werke zur gleicher Zeit geschrieben. Aber auch an Rymski-Korsakow (Snowmaiden, Mlada). Er lässt die Umwelt - Vögel, Sterne, Wasser klingen.
1st Movement: Wandering Pilgrims: Ilya Muromets and Svyatogor --> 0:00
2nd Movement: Solovei the Brigand --> 23:42
3rd Movement: The Palace of Prince Vladimir --> 46:37
4th Movement: The Feats of Valor and the Petrification of Ilya Muromets --> 54:45
This is a vastly underrated masterpiece, in the fullest sense a product of late Russian romanticism. It has been a work which I have esteemed since I first heard it on a Naxos disc. Its orchestration is peerless, and its cyclic themes thoroughly and convincingly worked out, in particular in the long, tranquil coda that concludes the work. What surprised me most was hearing this kind of work from Gliére's pen after years of knowing only his short piano bonbons.
One correction - Gliere was a Ukrainian.
@@Dima-rt7br Thank you for this correction, though I believe his family originated in Flanders.
@@phillipvietri8786 Reinhold Glière (1875-1956) was of German-Polish heritage (not Belgian, as claimed by a now discredited source), but was born in Kyiv and appears to have embraced a great deal of Ukrainian culture in his life and work. Having studied violin and composition at the Kyiv Musical School, he continued his studies at the Moscow Conservatory, graduating in 1900. He then spent two summers in Ukraine to teach the young (and fully Russian) Sergey Prokofiev, and in 1913 joined the Kyiv Conservatory as professor of composition, soon becoming its director, only being forced to relinquish that post and return to Moscow in 1920 by the upheavals of the Russian Civil War.

@@phillipvietri8786 You are welcome!
I'm familiar with Gliere's "The Red Poppy," a wonderful ballet and have played a few of his piano pieces, when I was younger; but I'm swept away by the grandeur and epic thematic material of the Gliere's Third Symphony; it's one of the greatest pieces I've ever listened to, barring none.I only wish I had encountered it during my childhood, but feel fortunate to hear it now. Vivid splashes of orchestral color and multifoliate polyphonies resonate, punctuating the landscape from 30 to 45 minutes in; running the gamut from gloomy skies(bassons and tuba) to suggestions of birdsongs and bucolic moments. I find that overall there is a distinct cinematic quality, reminiscent of Wagnerian opera here. Nemi Jarvi is definitely a wonderfully gifted conductor and the WDR Sinfoniorcheter Koln is superb, rendering a nuanced and riveting performance here. Thank you KuhlauDilfeng2 for posting such a magnificent work!
Avui 29 d'octubre, he descobert Reinhold Glière. Magnífica la seva tercera sinfonía. Penso continuar sentint les seves obres.
TH-cam decided to play this today after Scriabin. Never heard it before, and what a treat! I'm excited now to go down the rabbit hole on this wonderful and severely underrated composer.
actually a highly rated composer
I like his second symphony a lot!
Happy birthday, Gliere! It is awesome we hear the world of great composer so many years later from the day the music was created.
Le toucher bucolique, teinté de mélancolie de cette symphonie provoque un mouvement de plongée abyssal dans mon inconscient pour que je finisse par ressentir une apathie avant les problèmes, non pas comme une évasion mais comme un exercice de connaissance de soi.. Encore une fulgurante découverte !
Heard on the radio this morning. Quite enchanting.
A truly glorious, sumptuous work by Reinhold Glière, who helped put Ukraine on the international musical map.
@Slavic Melodies Reinhold Glière was born in Kyiv (then Kiev) in Ukraine in what was then the Russian Empire on January 11, 1875 (December 30, 1874 on the Julian calendar, then in use in Russia). The name "Il'ya Muromets" translates as "Il'ya of Murom," not "of Muromets." Murom is a city in Vladimir Oblast, located 120 miles east of Moscow. So yes, Il'ya was a Russian figure and all; but Glière was born and raised in Kyiv and became the director of the Kyiv School of Music in 1913 (shortly thereafter renamed the Kyiv Conservatory) where he taught until 1920. While director of the Kyiv Conservatory his star pupil in composition was Borys Lyatoshynsky, who fleshed out the sketches of Glière's Violin Concerto in g Op. 100, left unfinished at the composer's death on June 23, 1956. He was Ukrainian.
@@slavicmelodies9614 Not True, his parents were not Russian, they were from Saxony and Poland! He was Saxon/Polish by birth and a Ukranian Russian citizen by law. Russia annexed Ukraine by Catherine the Not-so Great in 1783.
@@slavicmelodies9614 Wrong, sir. The land that is now Independent Ukraine stopped being part of the Kievan Rus in 1240 when the Mongols invaded.
@@slavicmelodies9614 Don't be absurd, the state finally disintegrated under the pressure of the Mongol invasion of Rusʹ, fragmenting it into successor principalities who paid tribute to the Golden Horde. The funniest was you saying Ukraine was always part of Russia! That's like saying Alaska was always part of Russia.🤗🤔
I've played the contrabassoon for many years and I still just *cannot* understand how you get a sound as big as the player in this recording gets at 24:27. The unique "wooden" sound of a bassoon but with what sounds like the resonance and projection of tuba.
Thanks for pointing that out!
Perhaps there was some help from the recording engineer who was able to bring this out when they did the mixing.
Gosh, this is marvellous music.
I was lucky enough to have a friend introduce this piece to me over 40 years ago. I have always considered it a hidden gem. I am happy to see others feel the same way I do. Thank you Gliere.
What a coincidence that Gliere was also your friend's name!😉
Slow movement completely ravishing! The most extravagantly beautiful piece I've yet heard that justifies Scriabin's influence, prior to Szymanowski. Glorious stuff! I hope those who don't get Scriabin will at least appreciate this.
I'd like to think that this is the kind of symphony that Tchaikovsky would have written had he lived another 20 years. In fact, the closing brass chorale and the low strings are reminiscent of the ending of Tchaikovsky's sixth symphony, both pieces being in B minor.
Wahat a wonderful symphony. A masterpiece, unfortunately totally underrated.
This piece is very much at pair with 3 rd symphony by G.Enescu. Both are highly underappreciated by the community. To me- both are absolutely sublime. They cannot be compared with any other symphony by any other composer, even by Mahler, Wagner, etc.
Underrated...no. Underperformed.
actually a highly rated work
Orchestras deciding to perform a piece much less often than they do many pieces that are no better than it(i.e.,underperforming it), is the very definition of underrating it.
Fantastic performance. Jarvi lets the orchestra luxuriate in the gorgeous orchestral writing but not at the expense of forward movement. A perfect balance of opulence and excitement. Bravo.
One of my favorite conductors of all time. Get his Schmidt #2! What he did for Detroit in its darkest days will not be forgotten. And great there is this Gliere 3 of his. He probably had to perform it a lot when Estonia was under the Soviet yoke so I'm sure he knows this piece cold.
@@gregorypalmer5403 the best thing to happen to Detroit since Paul Paray!
@@wimgrundyearth5753 How do you know Gregory Palmer lives in Detroit?😉
Wow. Great symphony; over-the top like Bruckner, Mahler, Sibelius, Nielsen and Shostakovich. Must be a good interpretation because it kept my interest despite the gargantuan length and rough patches.
His Second is even better!
A sumptuous epic if ever there was one. I'm getting more than a few hints of Stravinsky's Firebird in that second movement (written the year before this).
Nice, static opening section with the drone layer and mysterious quality. Great handling of long-term tonality (i.e. form) in this massive Symphony; the orchestration is brilliant, magical, colorful (as expected); and some sections are very cinematic !!!
Hector Barrionuevo -- I always felt that Rakhmaninov had an unsettled debt to Glière....BRAVI to them Both (obviously)!
@@steveegallo3384 Hello Stevee ! ... Wow ... just listened again to this emotional, chromatic, monster of a Symphony ... very powerful ! From what I've listened to, Rachmaninov's orchestral works seem to me a bit more "populist" (not in the sense of featuring folk music, but in the sense of sounding "lighter", as in featuring sweet, sweeping melodies a la Tchaikovsky). But, like you said, Gliere (along with Glazunov) might have influenced his contemporary, Rachmaninov. And, there's also Scriabin's first Symphony, which is another massively emotional orchestral work with similar chromaticism and melodic prowess ... Thanks for reminding me about this Symphony ! Best !
Qué pieza tan conmovedora e impresionante, sólo a la altura del personaje de leyenda del valiente y talentoso pueblo ruso. Sus compositores son singulares y todos de vanguardia.
Magnifique, et c'est là qu'on se rend compte que beaucoup de compositeurs ont puisé sans vergogne dans l'oeuvre pour leurs propres misiques de film.
musiques¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ah ça...
I cut my teeth listening to the Eugene Ormandy & the Philadelphia Orchestra's interpretation of Scheherazade (Rimsky-Korsakov) on 78 records that were stacked on the record player. I probably was fascinated by the changing and dropping of each record too. When I heard Gliere's Ilya Muromets on public radio in the 70s, I immediately went to buy a recording. It was not until today over 60+ years later after first hearing Schererazade, that this work impacted me in the same way. I think that is because the subjective childhood stuff was not associated with Gliere's work. And then suddenly, a little age regression, and it is now connected.
Wait til you hear his Second Symphony....it's even better!
People who form strong associations with classical music at an early age (pre high school) grow up with a distinct advantage in how they process information as adults. I say this based on my own experience. The implications vary from having a better ear for learning languages (distinguishing subtleties of sound) and being able to create art and design(s) of a complex organization. In my graphic art and architectural sculptures I am always aware of many possible ways to order a composition and of the harmonic proportions when assembling elements at whatever scale. There came a time in high school when I actively sought increasingly challenging music. As an adult I enjoy much of Salonen's music. But (this will not surprise you) I still listen to my childhood favorites when I need either comfort or to restore my spiritual energy.
@@rr7firefly -- It'd be exciting to perform a Controlled Experiment testing your thesis: Availing of modern advances in trepanation, decortication and decerebration techniques to see if, absent any childhood musical cues, you end up exactly as you are now, anyway! For me it was repeatedly hearing an old vinyl of Rakhmaninov's 2nd Concerto from age 4; am still obsessed with this masterpiece 70 years later....Greetings from San Agustinillo!
@@steveegallo3384 Those three procedures seem pretty extreme. Slicing up the brain and such. Are these performed on live subjects or after someone has donated their brain for scientific research? My comment about extending one's brain power could actually be tested by comparing two groups of students, one with early musical influences, the other sans. As a corollary, I sometimes wonder what a diet of really mediocre trifles (i.e. today's popular music) will produce in the adult population of the future.
@@rr7firefly -- Good question: I'd willed my brain to Science; now they're contesting the Will. So I'd recommend live subjects/vivisection if our hypothesis is to survive peer review.
I'm really impressed by this symphony! What a power! Thanks for sharing!
This reminds me of Narnia, I love it!!
And The Lord of the rings!)
Thrilling!!!!

Wonderful.
My first hearing...thanks!
THIS IS FABULOUS! Thank you for uploading. DA
Beautiful music and performance.
Delightful!
absolute disgrace that this symphony is so wholly neglected in Western concert halls - how many times must we hear yet another interpretation of symphonies by Sibelius, Mahler, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, etc...at the expense of great symphonic works which also deserve to be heard
Most of the music I would like to hear live is neglected in concert halls. Thankfully we have TH-cam.
Too tough on modern audiences and orchestras.
Most North American orchestras play the “greatest hits”. Audiences demand to hear Mahlers 5th “one more time”…every year! Good for You Tube!
@@andrewpetersen5272 Sad but true(
To play this great music would involve a re-education of the audience on a vast scale

Once I get on the open road I love to play the 2nd movement at full volume, quite like the 3rd movement also.
Adorei, música surreal e paulera
Mahler aside, it's hard to imagine a better Romantic Symphony than this.
Oh come on, this is way better than Mahler!
The author's program (French translation from the authentic score):
I
Aux temps très anciens, au temps du gracieux prince Vladimir, vivait dans sa demeure Ilia Mourometz (Ilia de Mourom), fils de paysan; il est resté assis sans bouger trente longues années.
Un jour vinrent deux pèlerins errants (vieillards divins), l’incitèrent à se lever et lui prédirent, qu’il deviendra un puissant bogatyr (héros).
Ilia Mourometz se dressa et sortit dans la campagne limpide. Il se procura un cheval de bogatyr et alla trouver l'illustre bogatyr Sviatogor.
La terre humide pouvait à peine porter le poids de Sviatogor,-il ne lui fut point accordé d’aller jusqu’à la Sainte Russie; mais il lui était loisible d’errer par les Sviaty Gory (Montagnes Saintes) aux cimes élevées.
Ilia s’approcha de lui, le saluant avec respect. Ils enfourchèrent des chevaux agiles et parcoururent longtemps les Montagnes Saintes, se divertissant à des jeux héroïques. Ils découvrirent un cercueil immense. Sviatogor s’y coucha et de ses profondeurs ne put s’arracher. Avant de mourir, il donna de sages conseils à Ilia. Puis son corps se couvrit de ruisseaux de sueur, et il mourut
La force héroïque fut transmise à Ilia, qui s’en alla par la route droite jusque vers Kiew, la capitale superbe. Son coursier galope comme vole le faucon, enjambe lacs et cours d’eau; par sa queue les cités sont balayées.
II.
Dans une forêt épaisse, sept chênes abritent Solovéï-le-Brigand. Le droit chemin est glissant, le droit chemin est barré. Sifflant comme le rossignol, poussant des cris féroces, Solovéï courbe jusqu’à terre les forêts épaisses; et tous les gens, s’il en est, gisent morts. Dans la forêt vivent les trois filles chéries de Solovéï. Elles possèdent beaucoup d’or, d’argent, de perles bien rondes-elles attirent par des cadeaux précieux les gens qui passent.
Solovéï entendit la démarche puissante du Bogatyr; il siffla, le brigand, comme un rossignol, il poussa ses cris féroces. Ilia banda son arc puissant, lança une flèche de fer ardent. Cette flèche frappa l’oeil droit de Solovéï, elle coucha le guerrier sur la terre humide. Ilia l’attacha à son étrier damassé et l’emmena vers la demeure de Vladimir Beau-Soleil.
III.
Chez le gracieux prince Vladimir se donne un noble festin, qui rassemble en nombre les princes, les boïars, les bogatyrs à la force invincible. Arrivé près de la grande porte du palais, Ilia ordonne à Solovéï-le-Brigand de pousser son sifflement de rossignol et ses cris féroces... Alors fléchit la toiture du palais élevé, alors tombèrent tous les bogatyrs puissants, tous les princes et boïars fameux. Seul, le prince Vladimir reste à peine debout.
Ilia trancha la tête du turbulent Solovéï. Vladimir, en récompense, donna à Ilia la place d’honneur à sa table; et tous les puissants bogatyrs reconnurent Ilia pour leur frère insigne.
IV.
D’Orda, la terre d’or, s’est levé Batygha le méchant avec son armée païenne. L’haleine fumante de leurs chevaux obscurcissait l’éclat du soleil, et l’odeur Tatare qui montait eut suffoqué tout chrétien. Ilia Mourometz s’avança, suivi de douze bogatyrs; ils combattirent douze jours, et défirent l’armée entière des mécréants.
Ce ne sont point deux montagnes qui se rencontrent: ce sont, dans la campagne limpide, deux bogatyrs qui s’abordent, Ilia et Oudalaïa Polénitsa (géante guerrière). Au premier choc ils se frappent, mais ni l’un ni l’autre n’est blessé. Chacun saisit par les crins la monture de son adversaire, mais sans prendre l’avantage. Ils descendent de cheval, et vigoureusement s’agrippent. Ils luttent et se harcèlent jusqu’ au soir, puis du soir à minuit et de minuit à l’aube. Ilia tombe sur la terre humide - et à ce contact ses forces sont doublées. Il frappe la blanche poitrine de la guerrière d’un coup formidable, qui la lance au dessus des grands arbres de la forêt. Bientôt il éteint les yeux brillants, détache des épaules la tête rebelle, la fiche sur une lance tatare, et l’emporte vers le camp des héros ses frères, qui l’acclament.
Sept bogatyrs s’avancent, Ilia Mourometz également s’avancl par la campagne limpide: „Où est l’Armée Céleste, que nous, bogatyrs, nous l’anéantissions?". Ils avaient à peine prononcé ces paroles insensées que bondirent en avant deux guerriers, criant à pleine voix: „Venez donc, bogatyrs, vous mesurer avec nous!“. Un bogatyr se précipite - voilà qu’ils sont quatre, bien vivants. Ilia les sabre - voilà qu’ils sont huit, indemnes. Tous les bogatyrs se jettent sur l’Armée Céleste, la chargent, la sabrent; mais elle se multiplie encore et encore, elle fond sur les bogatyrs. Ceux-ci s’enfuient vers les montagnes pierreuses, vers les sombres cavernes. L’un accourt,-il est changé en pierre; un autre se présente-aussitôt il est pétrifié. Ilia Mourometz court vers les montagnes, et lui aussi est soudain pétrifié. C’est depuis lors que les bogatyrs ont disparu de la Sainte Russie.

В старину было стародавнюю, при ласковом князе Володимере, сиднем сидел Илья Муромец, крестьянский сын, сиднем сидел целых тридцать лет.
Приходили два калики перехожие, будили они Илью и предсказывали - быть ему великим богатырем.
Вставал Илья Муромец, выходил во чисто поле, доставал коня богатырского, отправлялся к славному Святогору богатырю.
Не носила Святогора мать сыра земля, не придано было ездить ему на Святую Русь, а и позволено было ездить по высоким Святым горам.
Приезжал к нему Илья с поклоном низким. Садились богатыри на добрых коней, разъезжали по Святыми горами много времени - забавлялися играми богатырскими... Находили они домовище огромное. Ложился в него Святогор, а подняться не может из того гроба глубокого. Давал Илье перед смертью советы мудрые, а как стал преставляться - пошел от него велик пот...
Перенял Илья Муромец силу богатырскую, выезжал на дорогу прямоезжую в стольный Киев град. У него конь бежит, как сокол летит, реки и озера промеж ног берет, хвостом поля устилаются.
II.
В дремучем лесу, на семи дубах, залег Соловей Разбойник. Заколодела, замуравила дорога прямоезжая: от посвисту его соловьиного, от покрику звериного, темные леса к земле все приклоняются, а что есть людей, то все мертвы лежат. И живут в лесу три дочери Соловья любимые, и много у них злата, серебра и скатного жемчуга, - прельщают они людей дорожных своими дарами великими.
Услыхал Соловей богатырский топ, засвистал по-соловьиному, закричал разбойник по-звериному... Натягивал Илья тугой лук, накладывал калену стрелу. Пала та стрела Соловью в правый глаз, обронила она его о сыру землю. Пристегнул его Илья ко стремени булатному, повез с собой к Владимиру Красному Солнышку.
III
У ласкового князя Владимира идет почестен пир; а и много на пиру бояр, князей и сильно могучих богатырей.
Приезжал Илья на широк княж двор; велит Соловью Разбойнику засвистать по соловьиному, закричать по звериному... Покривились маковки на высоких теремах, попадали все сильны могучи богатыри, все знатные князья-бояре, а Владимир князь едва жив стоит.
Срубил Илья Соловью буйну голову. Жаловал Владимир Илью за столом почетным местом, признавали Илью все могучие богатыри своим большим братом.
IV.
Из Орды, золотой земли, подымался злой Батыга со своею силою поганою. От пару было от кониного а и месяц-солнце померкнуло, а от духу Татарскаго - не можно крещеным живым быть. Выезжал Илья Муромец со двенадцатью богатырями, и бились они двенадцать дней и прибили всю силу неверную.
- Не две горы вместе сдвигалися, съезжались в чистом поле два богатыря -Илья и Поленица Удалая. Ударились они первым боем - тем боем друг друга не ранили; тянулись через гривы лошадиныя - друг друга не перетягивают; сходили со добрых коней, хватались плотным боем, рукопашкою. Бились, дрались день до вечера, с вечера бьются до полуночи, с полуночи бьются до бела света. Пал Илья на сыру землю - лежучи у него силы вдвое прибыло; махнет Поленицу в белы груди - вышибал выше дерева стоячего. Скоро затмил очи ясные, по плеч отсек буйну голову, воткнул на копье мурзамецкое, повез на заставу богатырскую - при своей братьи похвалялся.
- Выходило семь богатырей, выходил сам Илья Муромец во чисто поле: «подавай нам Силу нездешнюю, мы и с тою Силою, богатыри, справимся». Как промолвили они то слово неразумное, так и слетало двое воителей. Вещали они громким голосом: „а давайте, богатыри, с нами бой держать“. Налетает на них один богатырь - стало четверо и живы все; рубит Илья Муромец - стало вдвое больше и живы все. Бросились на Силу небесную все богатыри, стали Силу колоть рубить, а Сила та растет да растет, все на богатырей с боем идет. Побежали могучие богатыри в каменные горы, в темные пещеры. Как подбежит один - так и окаменеет, как подбежит другой - так и окаменеет. Подбежал к горам Илья Муромец, да и тут то Илья окаменел.
С той поры перевелись богатыри на Святой Руси.
nice
What a find ! This is Neeme Jarvis not Paavo ?! Father was in Detroit 80s and 90s and imo it was a Golden Age for the DSO, not since the Swedish Maestro Ehrling. Much of the accolades because he brought so much unfamiliar excellent fare to Detroit. And although Gliere became a Party hack for the Soviets, this fairly early piece was before all that. He was still a brilliant composer then.
Jaarvi not Jarvis. Damned Google keyboard. Anyone know how to disable it ?
РЕДКАЯ АССОЦИАЦИЯ, ПОЗДРАВЛЯЕМ!!!!
Glière is a disgracefully underplayed composer!
Eugene Ormandy brought me here from 1956 for the full treatment he only dimly realized with the Philadelphia Experiment. Too bad Ptushko didn't use Gliere for his 1956 bogatyr masterpiece, THE SWORD AND THE DRAGON (U. S. title)!
La mas grande descarga de fuego sagrado para solucionar cualquier desafio grande, esta muaica es para solucuonar grandes priblemas y para crear grandes maravillas.
around 24:00 reminds me of Alien Soundtrack. very spooky and interesting!
From this Ukrainian composer written, more than 110 years ago. And what do we have now?...
He lived mostly in Russia, but in his birthplace Kyiv until he was 19. No matter, his music is phantastic and unterrated. ❤❤❤
@Slavic Melodies Okay. I love russian music. Have a nice day.
He was a child of a german man and a polish woman and grew up in Ukraine. However back then Ukraine was part of the Russian Empire and known as Little Russia (a state which the fascist nationalists in Russia led by Putin want to reinstate). He thus held russian citizenship and has to be considered a russian composer.
Calling him an Ukrainian composer makes as much sense as calling Mozart an Austrian composer: None at all.
@@Quotenwagnerianer Thank you for your detailed information. I would like to withdraw my comment. I didn't look at this so politically. Rather, I was impressed by the tremendous drama of this symphony, even without its source of inspiration.

Is it possible to hear his music in Kiev today? Or in Moscow?
Wonderful stuff. However, what is the painting???
That is Ilya Muromets himself, a painting called "Bogatyrs" by Viktor Vasnetsov.
Thank you for the information regarding the painting.
And here was I thinking it was called-"3 Bold Knights Of The Middle Ages Wishing They'd Been Born 1,000 Years Later So They Could Listen To Gliere 3"!
Where did you find this recording? It's the only mention of WDR Sinfonieorchester Koln performing this on the entire internet from what I can find
Edward Downes recorded it on Chandos ,Also Stokowski on EMI Downes is Complete as the Ormandy is not.Ian
If only one of the great Russian silent film directors, Dovzhenko, Eisenstein, or Pudovkin, had crafted a film to match this.
Or even a Fantasia-like movie based on this symphony...
What an ignorant person you are. Gliere is a composer of German ethnicity who was born and studied in Ukraine. Dovzhenko is 100% Ukrainian.
@@y_yur_iocei There's no need to be rude
Yevgen Yurenko There is always this confusion in regards to people that were born, lived and/or died in present day Ukraine. Are they to be considered Russian, German, Polish, or Ukrainian? Trotsky for example is considered by most to be a Russian Jew, but in reality he was a Ukrainian Jew. And so it goes for many many historical figures.
@@tonylogan4092 Well let me muddy the ole samovar by reminding that Gliere was a half - BELGIAN Jew !!!! Now whaddya all say ?! LOL 😆
Thanks. What is the painting?
I first saw it in a book of Russian art where it was called "Three Warriors." I still forget the artist, but more recently I've seen it identified as Ilya Muromets himself & two of his bogatyr pals. (Regrettably this posting sliced off the tops of those two helmets; while I like evergreens, I would've sacrificed some of those seedlings to avoid that.)
Does anyone know any pieces of music like this?
Try Borodin's Second Symphony and Knyaz Igor, and Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov. Not quite the same, but with much of the character of epic Russian sagas and the endless steppes of Central Asia.
Also, Glière's Zaparozshky Cossacks & Second Symphony....also the last 6 minutes of Cherevichki!
Tchaikovsky's Manfred Symphony is similar to this and you can find many parallels.
Try Joseph Marx's Autumn Symphony (very similar harmony), Sergey Lyapunov's Symphony No. 2 and Scriabin's Symphony No. 3 ,,Le Divin Poeme".
Sibelius’ early Kullervo, especially the first two movements. And you might like Bruckner too . . . anything from the 3rd on

30:38-why, hello, ‘Sirens’! I believe that his 1908 award-winning symphonic poem was for him what Disney’s 1937 ‘Old Mill’ was-a test run for the new techniques that were refined in the large scale work, namely ‘Snow White’.
Needs ...more.... interruptions.........!!!!..... sounds like he is painting 🖌️ with music 🎶
