Sergey Ivanovich Taneyev (1856-1915) is a significant figure in Russian music from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. A student of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and the pianist Nikolai Rubinstein at the Moscow Conservatory, he gathered in his compositions the best experiences from the pedagogical encounter with two prominent pedagogues. Cycle Twelve Choirs Op. 27 was based on the verses of Yakov Petrovich Polonsky, while for the cantata Jovan Damaskin was inspired by the poem of the same name by Alexei Tolstoy. Both works Taneyev written in the spirit of late romanticism, dominated by the skill of using baroque counterpoint and the spiritual, strongly emotional poetics of the composer whom many equated with Rachmaninoff. This concert is also an opportunity to find out why many people called Taneyev the “Russian Bach”.
