Information:
Aleksandr Konstaninovich Glazunov (1865-1936), the major Russian symphonic composer of the generation that followed Tchaikovsky. Maximilian Osseyevich Steinberg (1883 – 1946), Russian composer of classical music. Though once considered the hope of Russian music, Steinberg is far less well known today than his mentor Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, his rival Igor Stravinsky, or his student protege Dmitri Shostakovich. During the early 21st century, however, Steinberg's choral concerto Passion Week was rediscovered and performed for the first time. It was instantly lavishly praised as a masterpiece by both lovers and performers of Classical music. This has triggered a revival of interest in the life and music of Maximilian Steinberg. Vasily Vasilyevich Yastrebtsev (1866-1934) - musicologist, biographer and researcher of the works of N.А. Rimsky-Korsakov.Provenance: from the archive of G.M. Rimsky-Korsakov’s widow.
