Description

Amazon.co.uk Rachmaninov allegedly considered The Bells to be his best work, and it is not difficult to hear why. Written in 1913, there is a freshness of invention that is irresistible. Perhaps the text (an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe) struck a chord with this composer's sensibilities: different bells symbolise different facets of existence. This piece deserves more frequent airing, and it is to be hoped that Pletnev and his Russian forces help raise awareness of this. The soloists are superb (Mescheriakova is particularly impressive), but the real star is the Moscow State Chamber Choir. This is a worthy companion to Pletnev's accounts of Rachmaninov orchestral works. Sergei Taneyev is a composer who should be more widely appreciated. Too often castigated in the textbooks for being overly academic, his works nevertheless demonstrate a freshness of invention which has immediate appeal. The cantata John of Damascus is something of a find. The Russian National Orchestra creates a superbly chilly atmosphere in the first movement, and once again the choir triumphs with fervent singing which conveys real belief in the quality of this music. The Bells ranks as a fine modern performance, but it is the Taneyev which might prove most fascinating. --Colin Clarke Product description PLETNEV MIKHAIL / RUSSIAN NATI
