Ouverture de "L'Orestie" in E minor, Op. 6 (1889)
Dedication: Anton Arensky (1861-1906)
Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Neeme Järvi
Taneyev regarded his Oresteia, originally conceived in 1882, as his major achievement. This work, which the composer entitled a 'musical trilogy' rather than an opera, was closely modeled on the original plays of Aeschylus and was first performed at the Mariinsky Theatre on 17 October 1895. Taneyev wrote a separate concert overture, based on some of the opera's major themes, which was conducted by Tchaikovsky in 1889.
Rimsky-Korsakov considered many of Taneyev's compositions to be "most dry and laboured in character." A private hearing of Oresteia at his home, with Taneyev at the piano, was quite another matter. The opera, he writes, "astonished us all with pages of extraordinary beauty and expressiveness". He added that Taneyev's working methods "ought to result in a dry and academic composition, devoid of the shadow of an inspiration; in reality, however, Oresteia proved quite the reverse-for all its strict premeditation, the opera was striking in its wealth of beauty and expressiveness."
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, choral-like last section, that starts at 11:05 !
Still have the magnet tape, that I recorded at home 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, Maestro Fedossejew, for introducing me to this gem and to Tanejew ! ❤
I once played entire Oresteya in one evening and nearly died. Also missed last subway.
This work by Taneyev has a very dramatic quality that appeals to me. It is based,ostensibly, on the Greek tragedies by Aeschylus. Calm ending though which is very soothing.
This Overture is Alive music! ....Specially" C major "---it's very important & sooo good after dramatic "storm" in the Music....
Wunderschöne Interpretation dieser spätromantischen und fein komponierten Ouvertüre mit gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der intelligente und unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut betrachteten Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Wahrlich verborgener Schatz!
Lovely lovely!!! I love these (so-called) "lesser" known works by less well known Russian composers. Kudos, Bartje!
Bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo grandiose fantastic genial music super
This is glorious... the brass in the beginning, with those tritones in the strings... it all makes my blood stand still.
Hidden gem
Those last 12 bars for Flute 1 and 2 are ridiculous!!!
Yes :-)
6:09 - 'The moment of bloody reprisal has come' (The duet of Clytemnestra and Aegisthus)
7:35 - Events start to accelerate.
8:32 - The brilliant counterpoint of the Fate motive with itself (augmented) and with the Reprisal duet motive.
10:12 - Orestes the Avenger motive
11:12 - The Apollo's theme
15:59 I could feel like this piece really sends me to heaven.
Браво! спасибо
A stupendously dramatic and evocative work in a thrilling performance! One of my favorite Taneyev works along with his 4th Symphony, Piano Quartet, and Piano Quintet.
I was just listening today! But Bartjes recordings are always of superb quality, and the sheet music makes it wonderful to read along.. Hence I have nothing against hearing it for a second time :)
Sander Spoelsta -- You honor us all by re-hearing.
A truly magnificent piece of music. The beginning of the descending cascading notes about 15:17 is beautiful. I have a different version of this piece, by Novosibirsk Academic Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Thomas Sanderling (available on Naxos). It's at a more languid piece, being about 3 minutes longer. The cascading notes I mentioned are done differently as well - more emphasis on the strings and less on the brass. I recommend it highly. Also, you can't go wrong with any of Taneyev's string quartets.
A favourite, and his apparently.
Masterpiece!
I love his suite for violin
Spellbinding !
Божественно красиво. Спасибо.
Slow c-dur section bears striking resemblance to his first movement from The middle ages {corrected} by Glasunov
You mean From the middle ages by Glazunov?
@@Apfelstrudl aahaha, you are correct, absolutely slipped my mind.
Simply (ok, a bit complicated) beautiful!
