This solemn and remarkable composition from Sergius Taneiev, transcribed by Andrew Glover, is an exceptional tour de force for concert band. Stylistically reflective of Russian nationalism of the late 1800s, and exploring the full sonorities of the band, this work provides both the opportunity for delicate, lyrical performance as well as a robust climax. Intense at times, while reflective at others, Temple of the Gods offers a unique performance opportunity for mature bands. Exceptional!

Shamo (1925-1982) was a Ukranian composer, known for his song My Kiev, which became the official anthem of that city. His music is now undergoing a post-Soviet-Union revival, thanks to his daughter Tamara Shamo and his champion, pianist Dimitri Tchesnokov. The latter has recorded Shamo's complete piano works for Piano Classics, including the Tableaux de peintres russes (Pictures by Russian Painters). These are perfect pianistic gems, each a descriptive miniature of high lyrical quality and ingenious accompaniments.

The pieces contained in Arensky's Three Quartets, Opus 57 are quaint and accessible. These editions contain transliterations of the Russian (along with pronunciation guide), and an English translation which intentionally is more to the essence of the original poetry and a truer translation, rather than forcing a rhyme scheme at the expense of the integrity of the original text. The expressive imagery, with colorful depictions of nature and the stars, is heightened by the lyric solo cello. From soaring lines reflecting the mountains in “Serenada,” to the use of the cello's upper register in “To the Extinguished Stars,” to the running sixteenth notes mimicking “The Boiling Hot Spring,” the cello does not play a mere accompaniment role. The pieces can be performed together or individually, a cappella in the absence of a cellist. However, employing the solo cello gives the performer and the listener the full visual and aural range of the expressive quality of these choral gems.
