‘‘Glazunov’s score is filled with lighthearted melodies throughout, and the Cuban-born conductor underscored the playful nature of the melodies with her nuanced direction. Altarriba’s light approach to the music was clearly present in the ballet’s two most famous and well-known movements, the waltz from “Summer” and the “Bacchanale” from “Autumn.” She imbued the former with a delightful lilt, while bringing a robust heartiness to the latter.”      - Utah Symphony, Glazunov, The Seasons, Utah Arts Review
