Conocido como el Brahms ruso, Sergei Taneyev fue un ferviente admirador de las convenciones y formas clásicas germánicas. No obstante, también se le acredita la creación de obras románticas como poemas sinfónicas. Una de ella es la gigantesca obertura Oresteia; inicialmente concebida como la obertura de su única ópera, basada sobre la Orestíada de Esquilo, la obra se volvió una obra independiente de ella. Al ser una especie de poema o síntesis sinfónica de la ópera, la obra en cuestión usa los temas principales de los personajes en una pieza llena de clasicismo y romanticismo, concluyendo en una gran apoteosis que refleja el triunfo de Orestes.
Known as the Russian Brahms, Sergei Taneyev was a fervent admirer of Germanic classical forms and conventions. However, he is also credited with the creation of Romantic styled works such as symphonic poems. One of them is the gigantic overture Oresteia; initially conceived as the overture to his only opera, which was based upon Aeschylus’ namesake trilogy, the work suddenly became an independent piece of its own. Behaving as a symphonic poem or a symphonic synthesis of the opera, the work uses the main themes of the characters in a piece full of romantic classicism, concluding in a bright apotheosis reflecting the triumph of Orestes.

Once heard this live in concert ( some thirty years ago ) with the Radio Symphony Orchestra in my hometown in Saarbrücken under the direction of Waldimir Fedossejew, who was guest conductor of this specific concert.
Never forgot it ! It was just overwhelming ! Was moved so much, especially by the lyrical, but also majestic, chorallike last section, that starts at 13:05 !
Still have the magnet tape, that I recorded a few days after the event, when the recording of the concert had been broadcasted.
Been a Tanejew fan ever since, who was the most talented pupil of Tschaikovsky imho.
Thank you so much, dear Maestro Fedossejew, for introducing me to this gem and to Tanejew ! ❤
Amazing how his lyric gift surfaces in the latter stages of the overture, almost as if it had to be earned. A true musician. No wonder Stravinsky was so impressed.
Absolutely superb piece of music to my old ears.
Bravo super music overture grandiose genial fantastic
Какая Музыка! Страстная,динамичная вначале-она постепенно становится нежной,лиричной и светлой. Спасибо,Вам!
A new favorite.
....Третья часть самая просветленная--настоящий "Золотой свет"--До--Мажор ...!...Хороший был человек,С.Танеев--простудился весной на похоронах своего уч-ка,А.Скрябина,и через м-ц ,так и не выздоровев,умер сам...Какая ирония судьбы!
great
For an intellectualized composer who declared that music could be explained mathematically, this a pretty damned impassioned piece! So are his symphonies and his Piano Quintet.
Awesome!
First time I have ever heard this work. (I am age 70) Now over to the right of the screen, under suggestions, is another upload of this work. But in four (4) parts. Conducted by Gennady Rozhdestvensky. Curious. Well, I have all Sunday off, so maybe this would be a good day to hunt down more works of this composer. I also subscribed to your channel.
+Harry Andruschak I wasn't aware of that one by Rozhdestvensky, yet I this I have is a not-so-hasty version. You probably may like his works if you like those by Brahms! Thanks for subscribing!
+Harry Andruschak There is also an excellent recording on Chandos with Neeme Jarvi and the Philharmonia orchestra with the 4th symphony , but I'm not sure whether it's still available . But it's worth looking for .
I've been classical listener for 60 years. I had heard OF, but never a work by, Taneyev..until a few weeks ago. His Piano Quintet knocked me over ! Amazing how such a talent gets so little exposure! And this work is a powerhouse!
@@joeboyle5864 , because he was a Russian composer. only several Russian composers are known in the west while there were hundreds. check "top 30 Russian composers"
@@russian_classic I have NOT been "shielded"from Russian compositions. In fact, I know quite a few Russian composers. I'm especially partial to Glazunov. I like Bortkiewicz a lot. I've known Glinka since I was 14. My Dad was a lover of Rimsky-Korsakov. I own CDs of Arensky and Rubinstein. I know Liadov, Khatchaturian, Scriabin...Russian "Romantics" are among my favorites. Your composersaregreat.
