Soaring melody, striking orchestral colour and soulful Slavic spirit are at the heart of the Russian Symphony. Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky (in the 19th century) and Dmitry Shostakovich (in the 20th century) are the most famous composers in this genre. But the music of lesser-known composers such as Anton Rubinstein and Sergey Taneyev (in the 19th century), and Nikolay Myaskovsky and Alexandr Grechaninov (in the 20th century), deserves wider recognition. Begin your exploration of the riches of the Russian Symphony with our new recording of Sergey Taneyev’s Symphonies Nos. 1 and 3, and a new world of Russian music will open for you.
