Georgy Sviridov
Georgy Vasilyevich Sviridov (; 16 December 1915 – 6 January 1998) was a Soviet and Russian composer.

He wrote musical settings of Russian Romantic poetry by poets such as Mikhail Lermontov, Fyodor Tyutchev, and Alexander Blok. Sviridov enjoyed critical acclaim for much of his career in the Soviet Union and Russia. Early life and youth Sviridov w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
