About

Known to Tchaikovsky as the ‘Russian Bach’ and to Rachmaninov as ‘a master composer [and] a pinnacle of musical Moscow’, Sergei Taneyev was one of the most highly regarded and influential musical figures of his time.

His unfinished Symphony No.2, begun while Taneyev was a student at the Moscow Conservatoire, was recognised by his teacher, Tchaikovsky, as a work of considerable promise. It is heard here in Vladimir Blok’s edition, first performed in 1977.

Taneyev’s Symphony No.4, composed twenty years later, is a large-scale masterpiece considered by many to be his finest orchestral work.

Thomas Sanderling’s first disc in the Naxos Taneyev series (Symphonies No.1 and No.3) was praised by The Guardian for its “strongly characterised performances”.
