CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Taneyev was a student of Tchaikovsky and a teacher of Prokofiev. His few mature works are all pieces of substance in an attractive late Romantic idiom. It's a pity that this wonderful music is so little known. This recording, by musicians from the Sitka Festival in Alaska, is the only modern version of a piece almost as attractive as Dvorák's Piano Quintet, so even though it isn't ideally idiomatic (and comes as the sole content of a 42-minute CD), it's welcome. For those who can tolerate older recordings, there's a splendid performance of this Quintet by Maria Yudina and the Beethoven Quartet on Arlecchino ARLA 59. Either way, you'll probably love this music. --Leslie Gerber Similar CDs

CD ReviewsTaneyev's Chamber Masterpiece Alasdair Brooks | Melbourne Australia | 09/28/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "This CD is simply a must have for any fan of Russian classical music. Taneyev was Tchaikovsky's student and friend, and the teacher of both Scriabin and Rachmaninov, but composed in a distinct (albeit obviously Russian) style of his own. His rigid obsession with counterpoint - often obvious in the Quintet - has led to accusations that Taneyev was too intellectual for his own good, but personally I don't really see this as a sin. The third movement of the Quintet in particular - built around nothing more than a repeated descending scale - demonstrates how theoretical proficiency can still produce music of rare interest. And the other movements are full of gorgeous melodies. The CD is a little short by recent standards, but I still heartily recommend it."
