The Best way to listen to Glazuov

Listen to his tone poems and orchestral (non-symphonic and/or non-concerto) works.

I've collected that set from Naxos, ripped it as MP3s, and put it all on one DVD.
It works!!
It sounds very Russian.
I play it while typing on my desktop computer.
I am listening to it right now.

Glazunov? All I've heard is the Ruslan and Ludmilla overture.

I'd have thought the best way was to not listen to him at all...

This used to be Aulic_Exclusiva's cue to chime in on the subject...but alas.

Glazunov did a decent job completing Borodin's Prince Igor (the second act and apparently the overture are basically Glazunov's). Apart from that and perhaps some sections of his violin concerto I've never been particularly motivated to listen to Glazunov in any way - best or otherwise.
