Review
PERFORMANCE: ***** / SOUND: *****
Many of us will have heard, or played, Moszkowski’s Spanish Dances for piano duet, but, appealing as they are, they give no hint of the rich variety of his keyboard output as a whole. Seta Tanyel seems to regard it as her mission to revive neglected Polish piano music, and having established Scharwenka securely in the Collins catalogue (though whatever happened to the Fourth Concerto?) she is doing the same for Moszkowski. And this third volume of his music is just as good as the other two.
Moszkowski’s Hommage à Schumann is exactly what it says, a gentle pastiche written in tribute to the composer whose music influenced him the most, but the three sets of Morceaux, composed after his move to Paris, possess a quasi-Gallic chromaticism and charm and display conspicuously his innate feel for the keyboard. They’re miniatures, some of them are in salon style, and they embody the catchy tune and rhythms of the ‘Chanson napolitaine’, the neo-classical grace of the ‘Gavotte’ and the delicate lilt of ‘Complainte’.
It would be hard to imagine a pianist more attuned to Moszkowski’s idiom than Tanyel. Her control of the keyboard and natural understanding of the music are palpable.

Moritz Moszkowski (23 August 1854 – 4 March 1925) was a German-Jewish composer, pianist, and teacher of Polish descent on his paternal side. Among his teachers are Eduard Franck, Friedrich Kiel, and Theodor Kullak. Moszkowski was quite prolific, composing over two hundred small-scale piano pieces, which brought him much popularity. He also wrote larger scale works including two Piano Concertos, a Violin Concerto, three orchestral suites, and a symphonic poem. Although less known today, Moszkowski was well respected and popular during the late nineteenth century.

***
Born in Istanbul of Armenian parentage, Seta Tanyel studied at the Vienna Hochschule für Musik with Dieter Weber and Bruno Seidlhofer, and in London with Louis Kentner. She was a major prizewinner at the 1973 Beethoven Competition and the 1974 Arthur Rubinstein Competition. Acclaimed as much for her distinguished performances of the core repertoire as for her consistent championing of the works of lesser-known composers, Tanyel has excited much attention from audiences around the world. She has received countless critical accolades for her recordings on the Chandos, Collins Classics and Hyperion labels.
