Selected Works by 20th Century Russian Composers

Más información sobre el libro

This volume includes a group of, until now, lesser-known Russian composers--those composers who in recent decades developed their styles based on Classical-Romantic music, maintaining a close connection to the traditions of Western Europe. The piano music of Anatoly Alexandrov, Vladislav Igolinsky, Vladimir Ryabov, Mikhail Kollontay, Vladislav Agafonnikov, and Sergei Movchan leads one into a new soundscape which can justifiably be viewed as the continuation of music by Balakirev, Tchaikovsky, and Skryabin. Also includes brief biographies of the composers.
