| | Sergei Taneyev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Sofia's infatuation with Taneyev and his music echoes the story of Tolstoy's great and penetrating dissection of marital relations in The Kreutzer Sonata. | | | Taneyev wrote a separate concert overture based on some of the opera's major themes, which was conducted by Tchaikovsky in 1889. | | | He began playing the piano at the age of 5 and entered the Moscow Conservatory in 1866, (the year of its foundation). |

| | Music |
| | Taneyev’s chamber music is more Viennese than Russian, and to the extent it is Slavic, it is closer to Dvorˇák, whose own antecedents are in Schubert. | | | If you love the great chamber works of Schubert, Mendelssohn, Dvorˇák, and Brahms, I challenge you to listen to this music and not be as entranced by it as I have been. | | | In an age of musical exoticism, the cultivation of counterpoint struck Taneyev’s contemporaries as fastidious and archaic. |

He continued to record for Ampico until around 1929. | | | Sample from Piano Concerto No. 2 (file info) |

| | reviews of divine art 25020 Tchaikovsky for Four Hands |
| | Taneyev's transcription of the Fourth Symphony, arranged for four hands at one piano, is recorded in Grove's with no information, just the legend: "Moscow, 1879", only one year after the premiere of the symphony itself. | | | For the record, the transcriber of the Symphony No.4 is Sergei Taneyev and of the Romeo Nadezhda Purgold (Mrs Rimsky-Korsakov). | | | Pianists Anthony Goldstone and Caroline Clemmow, a husband-and-wife team, and a well-known and respected full-time professional duet partnership, got their hands on a copy of the music, long since out of print, and, stunned at what they discovered, sorted out the myriad mistakes missed at the proof-reading stage, and have now recorded it on CD. |

| | Sergei Taneyev, a pianist and didact as well as prolific writer of vocal works and chamber music, knew Isserlis's grandfather Julius as a boy. | | | A student of Tchaikovsky (in whose piano concertos he was the first soloist), teacher of Rachmaninov and friend to all, Taneyev was also a musical loner with an avant-garde taste for Esperanto. | | | In Taneyev (1856-1915) he discovered a remarkable individualist who played a key role in late nineteenth-century Russian musical life. |

| | The Cleveland Orchestra and Nikolai Sokoloff recorded Rachmaninoff's Second Symphony in May 1928, using a score especially prepared and shortened by the composer; this "complete" recording was released as a set of twelve 78 rpm discs. | | | To tell the stories of Sergei Rachmaninoff's symphonies is to give a capsule biography of the artist. | | | Unexpectedly, the premiere of Rachmaninoff's First Symphony, given in St.Petersburg on March 15, 1897, turned out to be a disaster. |

| | Then again, the Russian State Symphony is not exactly an orchestra prone to pretty sonorities, and certainly it doesn't help that Chandos has recorded it in sound that's as reverberant as it is opaque. | | | Admittedly, the former Tchaikovsky pupil never reached the sublime level of his mentor, but listening to Polyansky's timbrally unimaginative renderings could lead you to conclude that Taneyev also didn't pick up one iota of the elder composer's brilliant sense of color. | | | Things improve with Symphony No. 4, thanks to Taneyev's brassy, boldly projected opening, which plays to Polyansky's particular skill with music that's loud and fast. |

| | Taneyev's two symphonies recorded here are both breathtaking and brilliantly conceived. | | | Taneyev's "Symphony No. 4" is certainly also very Russian, and at times leans more toward the exotic colors of Borodin's "2nd" rather than to Tchaikovsky. | | | (They even looked alike.) However, A. Taneyev's symphonies are mild, though pleasant works, whereas S. Taneyev's symphonies recorded here, are wild, emotional, and vividly colorful. |

| | I ended the evening wanting to discover more about Taneyev and his music, so as a commemorative occasion the concert must be accounted a success. | | | Unfortunately Taneyev followed a long-standing Russian musical tradition — (practised by, for example, Mussorgsky and Borodin) — an addiction to alcohol. | | | Some of his later works do little to advance his cause — for example, the strangely amorphous Concert Suite for violin and orchestra which is not quite a concerto. |
