"Thomas Sanderling and the Novosibirsk Academic Symphony Orchestra bring levels of insight to the orchestral music of Taneyev, not least the four symphonies, the big-boned Fourth in my vies a indisputable masterpiece, superbly performed and recorded under Sanderling, quiet outstanding even in view of formidable rivalry from Neeme Järvo [et al.] ... The 46-minute 'Suite de concert' for violin and orchestra is another masterpiece (the soloist here, Ilya Kaler, is virtually in the David Oistrakh league) and among other works included is the 21-minute Overture to 'Oresteia', a sort of Russian 'Death and Transfiguration' ... If you're as yet unfamiliar with Taneyev's work, do acquire this set for the sake of the many musical riches that it has on offer".
