"The Russian Brahms"

Posted by Chris from Lafayette on July 10, 2021 at 18:04:17:

I don't know the string quartets, but I was bowled over by Tanayev's cantata, "At the Reading of a Psalm", which contains a magnificent triple fugue as one its components. I have the recording (SACD) below, but there's also an older one on regular CD conducted by Svetlanov.



OTOH, I think it was Tanayev who screwed up the (posthumous) publication of Tchaikovsky's Third Piano Concerto, so that things are pretty confused now regarding that work! Like Bruckner, Tchaikovsky attracted a number hangers-on who were all too ready to "help him out", especially with his Second and Third Piano Concertos (Siloti in the Second, and Tanayev in the Third).
