It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

Yup, I knew you'd alight on that item out of them all. It startled me, but amused me also. I recall buying the album in my teens when it first came out, putting it on with great anticipation, and tearing it off after 5 minutes in dismay. With my dear father supporting me, I returned it to Woolies, and managed to persuade them to exchange it for 3 CfP LPs (one of which, ironically, was of the recently much over-played Slavonic Dances of Dvorak and Norwegian Dances of Grieg, conducted by Mackerras). Hearing it again, without warning, produced a rather pleasurable frisson in the circumstances, but I realise that this was a very personal thing. However PT post-announced it amusingly, and deadpanned a listener's reaction that it was 'vile'. All in all, it was a good show, professionally and winningly presented. IMV etc etc

Can anyone confirm? The polka from Les vendredi seems variously to be credited to Glazounov or Lyadov rather than Sokolov. Or did all three really collaborate on that single piece?It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

wiki says (which doesn't answer your question)
In 1886, the suite for string quartet, Fridays (Les Vendredis), was written by Nikolai Artsybushev, Borodin, Felix Blumenfeld, Glazunov, Alexander Kopylov, Lyadov, Maximilian D'Osten-Sacken, Rimsky-Korsakov, Nikolai Sokolov and Joseph Wihtol.
if this was the CD, it says the polka is by Kopilov

Very superficial on-line research throws up Glazounov, Lyadov OR Sokolov, or indeed Kopilov as the composer of the Polka. No one seems to be suggesting collaboration, but on the other hand there doesn't seem to be any overwhelming support for one over the others. But I don't have my Grove to hand... How very odd.
