"Peshkov's playing is polished and refined but he doesn't stint the fire when it's called for. Peshkov to the list. His playing is polished and refined but he doesn't stint the fire when it's called for." (MusicWeb Feb 2010)
"I'm not sure why 'Western' violinists don't programme the Taneyev Violin sonata more than they do - and almost all don't. It has spruce and upholstered ideas and its Schumann-cum-Brahmsian axis offers plenty of opportunities for expressive unveiling of its melodic contours. Peshkov's playing is polished and refined but he doesn't stint the fire when it's called for. Peshkov to the list. His playing is polished and refined but he doesn't stint the fire when it's called for." (MusicWeb Feb 2010)
Somewhat unusually for a pianist-composer of his calibre, Taneyev wrote few works for that instrument alone, although each establishes its own memorable mood.
The Violin Sonata, subtitled 'Of medium difficulty', belongs to his mature compositional period and is notable for its blend of technical virtuosity and meditative inwardness.
The Theme and Variations pays tribute to Taneyev's teacher and colleague Tchaikovsky.
Several of the solo piano pieces here receive their world première recordings.
