About
Russian Russian composers' music is extraordinary, unlike anything else, melodious and fabulous, sad and fervent, mysterious, like the Russian soul itself. The lyrical compositions of P. I. Tchaikovsky, the bright "Pictures from the Exhibition" by M.P. Mussorgsky, the wild "Troika" by G. Sviridov, the thrillingly penetrating "Fantasy for Organ and Metronome" by O. Yanchenko, instrumental music by S. Rachmaninov and D. Shostakovich performed by the Honored Artist of Russia Svetlana Berezhnaya (piano organ) will help to comprehend its breadth and versatility.
