Reinhold Glière worked in music at a period when the art was changing shape around them.
The record lists Reinhold Glière as Soviet Ukrainian composer (1875–1956).
Reinhold Glière was born at Kyiv in 1875. His recorded nationality is Russia. He trained at Moscow Conservatory.
Recording arrived in this generation and changed everything: a performance could now outlive the performer.
He worked as composer, conductor and choreographer.
The instruments recorded are violin and piano.
His work is classed as opera, symphony and classical music.
He performed with Union of Soviet Composers.
Among his best-known works are Symphony No. 3 and The Red Poppy. A musical reputation rests on a handful of works that refuse to date.
The honours record reads: Order of Lenin, Order of the Badge of Honour, Order of the Red Banner of Labour and Medal "For Valiant Labour in the Great Patriotic War 1941–1945".
That the work came out of Russia shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Reinhold Glière died in 1956, aged 81. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
