Mystical realism- Bach's breathtaking Sonatas and Partitas, originally written for solo violin are here transcribed for cello by Tanya Anisimova.
With the 2001 release of her recording of J.S. Bach's Complete Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, celebrated cellist and composer Tanya Anisimova is reaching a growing audience with her mature, lyrical interpretations and sensitive-indeed spiritual-approach to music. Her transcription and recording of these Bach sonatas and partitas-an idea inspired by her doctoral thesis at Yale University on the same works-has attracted considerable attention from musicians and musicologists in both the United States and Europe. She has given us the first-ever recording of these works on the modern cello, rapidly establishing her name as on of the most original and emotionally charged cellists to emerge from her generation. In the spring of 2004 this recording will be featured on the Quotidian Theatre production of Anton Chekhov's "Sea Gull".
Tanya's newest CD-recorded live during her 2002 Solo Recital at the legendary Maly Zal (Chamber Hall) of the Moscow Conservatory-is titled "Concert in Moscow" and includes music by J.S. Bach, as well as two of Anisimova's new compositions. The other new CD is an unorthodox rendition of J.S. Bach's Cello Suites, Volume One. This recording is described by Heather Kurzbauer of the Strad Magazine as "wonderful!!", and by Janos Starker as "thought-provoking".
In April of 2004 Tanya will give a series of lectures and master-classes at the Escuela Nacional de Musica of UNAM University in Mexico, all of which will focus on the Six Cello Suites by Bach, as well as his Six Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin.
Tanya has performed chamber music with some of the most remarkable musicians of our time, including Claude Frank, Erick Friedman, Eliot Fisk, and Raphael Hillyer. Since her return from a tour of solo recitals in Russia and Ukraine, Ms. Anisimova has appeared in concert at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. Her playing prompted Joseph McLellan of the Washington Post to write: "Most of the program was devoted to works for unaccompanied cello, including three of Anisimova's melodious, mystical, and deeply emotional compositions...all were performed with a deep, supple, subtly expressive tone and an easy mastery of the instrument that seemed to recognize no technical problems. To add to the impression of versatility, two of her compositions included wordless, powerfully evocative vocalizes, which she sang with a pure, precisely controlled voice. This addition may limit the possibility of performances by other cellists. I can't imagine Rostropovich or Yo-Yo Ma reaching the high notes that she tossed off with lyric grace."
Michael Friedmann, Professor of Music at Yale, describes her "technical ingenuity in dealing with music seemingly beyond the cello" and a "deep emotional connection". Cronache Culturali called Ms. Anisimova "a true master...an expert cellist." The Washington Post called her playing "beguiling... enticing... enthralling... gracing technical precision with spiritual authority." The Russian press called her performance "a celebration of music of the spheres".
Ms. Anisimova is a recognized champion of contemporary music. The individuality of her playing has often inspired composers to write pieces for her. David Del Tredici, Ezra Laderman, Francis Thompson McKay, and Jessica Krash dedicated their pieces to her. While in residence at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Tanya recorded a CD of new works for solo cello, written for and premiered by her. This disc also features her original piece "Song on Mount San Angelo".
Tanya began her cello studies with Zoya Kamysheva. Two years later she was accepted to the Central Music School for Gifted Children in Moscow and became a student of Professor Igor Gavrysh, with whom she continued to study through her years at the Moscow Conservatory. She graduated cum laude from the Moscow Conservatory and continued her cello studies with George Neikrug at Boston University, where she received an Artist Diploma. She earned her doctorate at Yale University, as a student Aldo Parisot. Among her numerous honors are First Prize Awards at the Concertino Prague Competition and the All-USSR String Quartet Competition.
In exploring new ways to communicate the artistry of herself and others, Ms. Anisimova is the Artistic Director of the Mousetrap Concert Series, located in the historic town of Washington Grove, Maryland. Tanya has performed numerous times on WGBH (Boston), WQXR (New York), WTJU (Charlottesville), Voice of America (Washington, D.C.), and, most recently, Moscow State Radio and National TV of Ukraine.
In her diverse musical activities, Tanya blends simplicity and power into a unique style, forging a highly personal bond between a performer and audience. |
