Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Russian classical music with Piers Lane's exquisite rendition of Arensky & Taneyev's Piano Quintets. Released on September 29, 2013, under the prestigious Hyperion label, this album is a testament to Lane's virtuosity and deep understanding of the romantic repertoire.
The album features two complete piano quintets: Anton Arensky's Piano Quintet in G Minor, Op. 30, and Sergei Taneyev's Piano Quintet in D Major, Op. 51. Each piece is a journey through the rich emotional landscapes and intricate compositions of these lesser-known Russian masters.

His playing is both sensitive and powerful, capturing the essence of each movement with remarkable clarity and nuance.
Spanning a total of 68 minutes, this album is a perfect addition to any classical music enthusiast's collection.
