Glazounow's "Concerto in A Minor" by Jascha Heifetz and London Philharmonic Orchestra, Recorded 1934

This Russian violin concerto, by Alexander Glazunov, really provides Mr. Heifetz with opportunities for making spectacular, virtuoso runs on his violin, as well as for playing beautifully expressive melodic sections. I was not familiar with the composer, who was in the group of Russian composers who followed Tchaikovsky, when I acquired a small collection of 78 rpm records, from a Jascha Heifetz fanatic, which included this album. This performance, offered for sale in the 1939-1940 Catalog of Victor Records, features expert work from violinist Jascha Heifetz. This version was recorded in England, in 1934, with a British orchestra, conducted by John Barbirolli. There was a later LP release of this concerto, from Jascha Heifetz and conductor Walter Hendl, featuring the RCA Victor Symphony Orch, which was recorded in 1963. From Wikipedia: The ’’'Violin Concerto in A minor’’', Op. 82, by Alexander Glazunov is one of his most popular compositions. Written in 1904, the concerto was dedicated to violinist Leopold Auer, who gave the first performance at a Russian Musical Society concert in St. Petersburg on 15 February 1905. The British premiere of the concerto followed just over a year later, under the direction of Sir Henry Wood and with Mischa Elman as soloist. The American premiere of the work was not until 27 October 1911. It was performed by Efrem Zimbalist at his American debut with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The violin concerto is quite representative of Glazunov's technically brilliant style. There are no pauses or numbered sections in the concerto; it is nevertheless often described as consisting of either three or four movements, which may be variously labeled. The slow second movement is seamlessly inserted by the composer into the middle of the first movement, which is an original and rare structural peculiarity of this composition. The main cadenza at the end of the first movement was composed by Glazunov himself. It utilizes extensive double-stopping technique and is considered one of the most difficult parts of the concerto.
