Taneyev / Carpe Diem String Quartet- Taneyev: Complete String Quartets, Vol. 4
A pupil of Tchaikovsky, who called him the 'Russian Bach', Sergey Taneyev is best known today for his four symphonies, although he also composed a sizeable body of chamber music, including nine complete String Quartets. Quartet No. 9 is a memorably melodic work, while the beautifully crafted Quartet No. 6, his last completed quartet, is rather more austere, though marked by a playful Jig, and even more masterful in construction.
Tracklist:
- String Quartet No. 9 In A Major: I. Allegro Moderato
- String Quartet No. 9 In A Major: II. Andante
- III. Scherzo: Allegro Con Fuoco
- String Quartet No. 9 In A Major: IV. Allegro Giocoso
- String Quartet No. 6 In B-Flat Major, Op. 19: I. Allegro Giusto
- String Quartet No. 6 In B-Flat Major, Op. 19: II. Adagio Serioso
- String Quartet No. 6 In B-Flat Major, Op. 19: III. Giga: Molto Vivace
