Taneyev: Complete Quintets
) | Label: SUPRAPHON Catalog: SU4176-2 Format: CD Martinu Quartet; Vinokur; Hosprova; BartaComposed by: Taneyev, Sergey Sergey Taneyev’s compositions remain primed for discovery. His detailed, complex scores bear witness to his thorough exploration of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, and a sharp intellect blends remarkably with bold emotionality. Although the main weight of its repertoire is centered on the world’s great composers, the Martinů Quartet take pleasure in giving first performances of pieces by contemporary composers and seeking out neglected works, as evidenced by this double-disc of Taneyev’s complete quintets, with guests Olga Vinokur (piano), Jitka Hosprová (viola) and Jiří Bárta (cello).
