CD ReviewsNot quite right, a bit of a disappointment 03/08/2002 (3 out of 5 stars) "I've several recordings of the Tchaikovsky, none of the Glazunov, and so at least half of this album was going to be exciting. On the other hand, I noticed that the performers are ASMIF Chamber. Since their performance has always been wonderful, I would have gotten this album even if I had ten of the Glazunov. Sadly, though, I didn't like the presentation. In both pieces, the ensemble seems to rush into them and then through them. The Tchaikovsky lacks fluidity (Iona Brown did a marvellous performance with the Norwegian Symphony) and depth, and the movements go by with too much energy and speed to actually be able to appreciate the melodies. The Glazunov, a piece familiar to most classical music lovers, is also rushed. Sorry to say, I can't really recommend the album, but those liking music that is speedy, even seemingly competitive, would enjoy."
