About the album

After two immensely successful Poulenc releases, another recording with the Netherlands Chamber Choir, internationally acclaimed as the best of all international choirs, this time with the haunting 12 Choruses Op. 27 by the great Russian composer Taneyev, written on poems by Polonski whose works were set to music by so many other great Russian composers, Tchaikovsky (Taneyev's lifelong friend) among them.

As a composer, Taneyev was a completely independent figure in late 19th century Russian music, who set new standards as a choral composer by breathing new life in to the great 17th and 18th century traditions of Russian music. The Netherlands Chamber Choir is led here by the Estonian conductor Tonu Kaljuste, who succeeded Uwe Gronostay as chief conductor of the ensemble at the beginning of their 1998-99 season.
Beklijvende koorwerken van Taneyev uitgevoerd door het beste internationale koor
Na hun immens succesvolle album met werken van Poulenc presenteert het Nederlands Kamerkoor, toegejuicht als het beste internationale koor, een album met de Twaalf koren Opus 27 van Sergey Ivanovich Taneyev, die de luisteraar niet meer los laten. De koren zijn gebaseerd op gedichten van Polonski, die veel andere geweldige Russische componisten ook van muziek hadden voorzien. Taneyev was als componist een volledig onafhankelijke figuur in de Russische muziek van de late 19e eeuw, die als componist van koorwerken nieuwe normen stelde door nieuw leven te blazen in de tradities van Russische muziek uit de 17e en 18e eeuw.

Het Nederlands Kamerkoor is in 1937 opgericht door de legendarische dirigent en pianist Felix de Nobel, en is een volledig professioneel vocaal ensemble. Het repertoire van het koor omvat bijna het geheel van de Westerse muziek, reikend van de vroege Middeleeuwen tot aan de late 20e eeuw. Op dit album wordt het koor geleid door de Estse dirigent Tõnu Kaljuste, die van 1998 tot 2000 chef-dirigent was, en Uwe Gronostay opvolgde.
