(xlazonnov's "Seasons 1 ' Completed A month or two ago were released the first three discs of. a recording of Glazounov's hallct suite, "The Seasons."

This last "season" takes three sides, and on the fourth is a Flower Waltz from Delibes'Tjallet, "The Corsair." This latter is played by the Lucerne Kursaal Orchestra, while the "Seasons" music is by a special orchestra conducted by Glazounov himself.
