About

“(This) is an overlooked masterpiece of the Russian music literature … and I hope our disc will bring the recognition which it well deserves.” – Mikhail Pletnev

“Psalm 50 made a deep impression on Alexey Khomyakov, whose 1856 poem develops the idea that outward forms of religion are as nothing beside truth and brotherly love … [his] poem inspired Taneyev … a summation of Taneyev’s life and work … [bears] comparison with Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis, especially use of fugues … a compelling piece which Pletnev does well to clarify so successfully … includes a fine solo warmly sung by Marianna Tarassova.” – Gramophone
