Georgy Sviridov worked in music at a period when the art was changing shape around them.
The record lists Georgy Sviridov as Soviet and Russian composer (1915—1998).
Georgy Sviridov was born at Fatezh in 1915. His recorded nationality is Russia. He trained at Saint Petersburg Conservatory.
Recording arrived in this generation and changed everything: a performance could now outlive the performer.
He worked as composer, pianist and film score composer.
The instruments recorded are piano.
His work is classed as opera, symphony and choir.
He performed with Union of Soviet Composers.
His best-known work is Time, Forward!. A musical reputation rests on a handful of works that refuse to date.
The honours record reads: Stalin Prize (1946), USSR State Prize (1968), Order of Lenin (1965) and Lenin Prize (1960).
That the work came out of Russia shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Georgy Sviridov died in 1998, aged 83. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
