Symfonie Nr 1 & 6 (2003)

"Symphonies by teenagers generally get put away and quietly forgotten. Not Glazunovs First: quite deservedly, the 15-year-olds bold effort was hailed as the most auspicious composerly début since Mendelssohn. Emotionally and structurally, the 6th Symphony is a much more ambitious affair, especially in the stormy first movement. Otaka pays it the compliment of meticulous preparation and total musical commitment. An euphonious recording but for the warmth and dedication of the performances." (Gramophone)
