If ever a Fuga Libera release has been eagerly awaited, sure it is this one: a first recording with orchestra for Severin von Eckardstein, the briliant 1st laureate of the Queen Elisabeth of Belgium Music Competition; the first recording of a radiant National Orchestra of Belgium under its new musical director Walter Weller, a musician who brought so much to the recording industry - as well with his mythic string quartet as with the baton in hand. As it was not enough, this CD turns resolutely aside from the beaten track regarding the repertoire, since it highlights two great works by a giant of the Russian symphonic music, Alexander Glazunov: the seldom heard 1st Piano Concerto, Sviatoslav Richter's unduly forgotten favourite concerto, and the 5th Symphony, one of his most accomplished and seductive masterworks
