Belcanto Strings - Taneyev - Complete String Trios D Moj/B Min/ Eb Major

Apart from being a brilliant composer, Taneyev was an important teacher � his pupils at the Moscow Conservatoire included Rachmaninov and Scriabin � and is honoured as the founder of the great Russian pianistic tradition. The chamber music ensemble on this recording richly deserves its name of Belcanto Strings: the three musicians have demonstrated a passionate commitment to tonal balance and a breadth and depth of interpretative comprehension in seldom played chamber music works. Their MDG recording of the Fuchs/Reinecke string trios was duly credited with captivating suggestivity (SCALA) and opulent, luxurious sound (FONOFORUM) and praised as a brilliant reading (PICCICATO).
