Alexander Konstantinovich Glazunov (Алекса́ндр Константи́нович Глазуно́в, 10 August 1865 - 21 March 1936) was a Russian composer, music teacher, and conductor of the late Russian Romantic period. He served as director of the Saint Petersburg Conservatory between 1905 and 1928 and was instrumental in the reorganization of the institute into the Petrograd Conservatory, then the Leningrad Conservatory, following the Bolshevik Revolution. He continued heading the Conservatory until 1930, though he had left the Soviet Union in 1928 and did not return.The best-known student under his tenure during the early Soviet years was Dmitri Shostakovich.

Sarà anche conservatore ,se composto nel 1921 ma questo quartetto mi è gradevolissimo e conserva tutti i connotati del Glazunov post-romantico.

Serene and very beautiful. I'm no a connoisseur but it is a bit difficult for me to understand why Glazoenov's string quartets are not more famous. Also great performances here.
