The symphony is still unfinished, in the sense that it lacks any last two movements entirely. Glazunov edited/realized and orchestrated the first movement, and orchestrated the second movement (Scherzo) from the original version for string quartet that Borodin had composed for the collaborative set of pieces known as "Les Vendredis." Here is a link to a recording of the original string-quartet version of the Scherzo: ruclips.net/video/-CctsmgoSIs/видео.html The music for the middle section of the Scherzo comes from a passage of music that was originally composed for the opera "Prince Igor" but ultimately discarded therefrom.
Borodin sketched the scherzo for this as a string quartet movement with, as I understand it, notes in the margin as guidance for orchestration, which Glazounov used in the final arrangement. Glazounov wrote the first movement from memory because he had heard Borodin play it at the piano, again with a running narrative as to the intended orchestration. Only the scherzo in its string quartet form was ever played publicly during Borodin's lifetime. Again, these comments may be inaccurate, but they are based on what I have heard and read. Sadly, Glazounov never heard Borodin play the third and fourth movements.
Thank you very much for posting this, really. You don't know how much I appreciate it. Would you send me the scores so I can study it properly? Thanks and greetings from Spain.
Thanks for watching! Subscribe the channel, 1 and 2 Borodin Symphonys will coming soon! You can download scores here imslp.org/wiki/Symphony_No.2_(Borodin,_Aleksandr)
it's an alternate ending. I have never found the score of this ending and I don't believe anyone else recorded it this way. The original string quartet version does not have this alternate ending either.

Papa, my favorite symphony

0:03 is a good place to start.
Very nice writing.
Which is orchestra? Who is conductor? Tell me please. Thanks.
L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Ernest Ansermet
Trio - 11:00
Corto pero bellísima.
15:50 WTF? Why that's not on the Score??

It's very similar to the close of the pre-trio around 10:50
