Taneyev: Symphonies 1 and 3
Copy at Case Memorial Library
Contents: Symphony No. 3 in D minor, 1884; Symphony No. 1 in E minor, 1874. Recorded Sept. 10-14, 2006, Studio of West-Siberian Radio, Novosibirsk, Russia.
Personnel: Novosibirsk Academic Symphony Orchestra; Thomas Sanderling, conductor.
From the notes by Anastasia Belina: "A pupil of Rubenstein and Tchaikovsky, and a teacher of Rachmaninov and Scriabin, Taneyev emerges as a link between these two generations. … Although highly independent as a mature artist, Taneyev was understandably under Tchaikovsky's influence during the early years of his career. … It is perhaps fitting, then, to compare Taneyev's First Symphony in E minor with Tchaikovsky's Second. … From the opening pages of his First Symphony, the teenage composer impresses with his talent, seriousness, skilful orchestration, and a complete absence of virtuosity for its own sake. … [The Third Symphony] is a large four-movement cycle. … The scintillating Finale is the crowning glory of the cycle; its peroration abounds in imitation and double canons. …"
