Taneyev Concert Suite, Rimsky-Korsakov Fantasy : Mordkovitch, Jarvi / Scottish National Orchestra

Sergey Ivanovich Taneyev (1889-1915)
Suite de concert for Violin and Orchestra

Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908)
Fantasy on Russian Themes op. 33

Lydia Mordkovitch, violin
Royal Scottish National Orchestra
Neeme Jarvi, conductor

Lydia Mordkovitch, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Neeme Jarvi have a lustrous history of performing Russian works for Chandos. They return with two seldom heard works by Taneyev and Rimsky-Korsakov. The Suite de concert is a relatively late, and the only, work for violin and orchestra by Taneyev.

This monumental work for the violin is here coupled with the Fantasy on Russian Themes by Rimsky-Korsakov, his only substantial work for violin and orchestra.
