- The Sirens: Symphonic Poem in F minor, Op. 33 (1908)
A tone poem by Russian composer Reinhold Glière (1875-1956) depicting the enchantresses from Greek mythology who lured sailors to their death with their irresistible song.
Conductor: Vladimir Esipov
Moscow Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra
One of the best of Glière's works and one of his few works that share the musical idiom employed in his 3rd symphony. Gorgeous !
I totaly agree!
Probably my favorite symphonic poem after Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy and Rachmaninoff's Isle of the Dead.
And they're all from the same year! 1908 sure was a great year for symphonic poems.
WOW! Another masterpiece of music of music that I've never heard before. Thank you for uploading this treasure.
Harry, you listen to everything!
This is a fine example of Gliere's mastery of tone-painting and orchestration, and of creating a flowing dramatic arc, reaching its climax - perhaps a shipwreck on the rocks - and its tragic aftermath, brief but unmistakable.
75 years and I finally discovered this beautiful music!
I'm 72 but 'discovered' his 2nd Symphony 15 years ago and it guided me through deep depression in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, USA.....What a debt Rakhmaninov owes to Gliére!

Luscious and overwhelming! The works Glière wrote around this time (1908) rival those of Scriabin for their colour and adventurousness.
I put this on in the background (I know, shame on me) and almost thought I was listening to Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy around 14:30! Gliere has a fascinating harmonic language both very present here as well as in the second movement of his "Ilya Muromets" symphony. Not to be reductionist, but it strikes me as what were to happen if French impressionistic orchestration were to meet Russian romanticism.
@@davidneese5422 Yes, I know what you mean!
À ceci près que Scriabine était Russe (son neveu était "Monsieur Njet", le ministre Molotov.
Oublié de dire que Glière était Belge. J'ai eu le plaisir, la chance et l'honneur de le connaître.
@@jeanghika7653 - Sabaneyev spread the legend that Gliere was Belgian, but he was born in Kiev and lived his entire life in Russia. The rumor probably arose beause Gliere added the grave accent to his first "e". And Molotov was not related to Scriabin. See the Wikipedia articles for both.
Marvellous, absolutely fabulous!!!!!
Beautifully otherworldly. Lavina Morticia.
A beautiful work - very compelling...
An essay in Russian fantastic harmony.
Gorgeous!!!!
enchanting - gives me chills
Oh dear, this Symphonic Poem nearly caused me to jump off from my ship!
Gliere's Kriesis is sublime.
Especially the 2nd & 3rd movements
Can't say I like it, but it really seems to be a masterpiece of orchestration
less-known masterpiece, rivals any scary movie music

Bingo
What a beautiful piece.
I'm in Heaven !!
Now I know the the source of inspiration of The Parfume movie scoring.
Is there voices in this? at 5:20 i can hear the sound of a voice singing, and again at 14:15. if he isnt using actual voices then Gliere accomplished some sonic sorcery to create a siren song
That’s the magic of Glière and Yesipov’s orchestra control, yes, you are right!
Sounds like it
I think it's the 2 flutes playing in their lowest register at a unsion that is creating that effect.
It gets a little Wagnerian running up to the climax.
5:47 theme sounds similar to one in Symphony no.3
This is the path Impressionism should have taken in music, not the French bout-tickling! This is the richness and thickness of colours! It is astounding.
How many pianos will one need to write a proper reduction? 03:30 - two seems not enough.
True...it's the Russian soul that accounts for such richness, "thickness." Greetings from San Agustinillo!

I hear someone singing, but there are no voices, huh.

*Ukrainian composer
Wrong. He was Soviet, and of German and Polish descent.
Russian.
