Looking Out For A Hero

Gliere Symphony No 3, Il'ya Muromets. Performers : Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by JoAnn Falletta Programmatic symphony on a possibly mythical hero from medieval Russia. Highly atmospheric even without knowing the programme, though the short ( relative to the rest of the symphony ) scherzo seems to belong to another symphony altogether.
