The solo cello at its best. A recent concert, after which the performer was praised as "following in the footsteps of the legendary Rostropovich", is recorded live at the best sounding concert hall in Moscow, the Chamber Hall of the Moscow.
Internationally acclaimed cellist and composer Tanya Anisimova has become known for her impassioned and unorthodox interpretations, especially of the music by J.S. Bach.
Ms. Anisimova's interest in J. S. Bach began ten years ago, when she was writing her doctoral thesis at the Yale University about his Six Sonatas and Partitas for Violin Solo and Six Cello Solo Suites.
In 1995 Tanya recorded her first CD with her own transcription of the Bach Violin Partita in D minor. The recording was produced by the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, where Ms. Anisimova was a fellow composer. The solo cello works by contemporary American composers written specifically for Tanya were also featured on this CD.
In 2001 Ms. Anisimova releases her new 2-CD album with her transcription of J.S. Bach's Six Violin Sonatas and Partitas. This recording immediately attracts attention among musicians and musicologists both in Europe and North America. Recently the music from this CD was featured on the Quotidian Theater production of the Anton Chekhov's "Seagull".
In 2002 Ms. Anisimova recorded the Volume I of the Bach Six Cello Suites.
The CD was described by Heather Kurzbauer of The Strad Magazine as "wonderful!!" and by the distinguished cellist Janos Starker as "thought-provoking".
Tanya has recently finished recording the Volume II of the Suites.
In the spring of 2004 Ms. Anisimova taught a master-course and gave a series of lectures on the Bach's Cello Suites and his Violin Sonatas and Partitas at the UNAM University in Mexico City.
As a composer Tanya Anisimova has received grants from "Meet the Composer", "Mid-Atlantic Arts", and "International Artists Residencies" foundations. Her music has been described by Joseph McLellan of the Washington Post as "melodious, mystical, and deeply emotional". Her compositions have been performed in the U.S.A., Italy, Russia, Ukraine, and Mexico. Two of her works are featured on the "Concert in Moscow" CD, which was recorded live in 2002 during Tanya's solo recital at the famous Chamber Hall of the Moscow Conservatory.
Ms. Anisimova has performed chamber music with many distinguished colleagues, including Claude Frank, Raphael Hillyer, Erick Friedman, and Elliot Fisk.
She has toured extensively throughout Europe and North America, playing in such concert venues as Merkin Hall in New York City, Jordan Hall in Boston, Banff Centre for the Arts in Canada, Smetana Hall in Prague, Beethoven Hall in Bonn and, most recently, the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and Sala Xochipilli in Mexico City. Her numerous radio appearances include live performance on the "Off the Record" show, WGBH, Boston, and the "Young Performers Showcase", WQXR, New York.
Anisimova has won several major competitions and awards, including Concertino Prague Competition and Tokyo Chamber Music Competition. She holds degrees from the Moscow Conservatory, Boston University and Yale University. Tanya's principal teachers are Zoya Kamysheva, Igor Gavrysh, George Neikrug, and Aldo Parisot. |
