[concert] Taneyev: Piano Quartet in E major Op 20. (Kettle's Yard)

I don't tend to pick concerts of music I don't know, but the Kettle's Yard concerts are free and a quick Wikipedia / YouTube* search for Taneyev intrigued me enough to tempt me along.

Sergei Taneyev (1856 - 1915) is like a missing link in Russian music: he was taught by Tchaikovsky and taught Rachmaninoff. His music is very popular in Russia, hardly known elsewhere. He is sometimes compared to Brahms.
