Georgy Sviridov Works

Among Georgy Sviridov's most popular orchestral pieces are the Romance and the Waltz from his Snow Storm: Nine Musical Illustrations after Pushkin (1975), originally written for the eponymous 1964 movie based on the short story from Alexander Pushkin's The Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin.

Georgy Sviridov (Свиридов 1915 - 1998) was a Soviet composer. Although his music remains little known in the West, his works are well known in his homeland for their memorable lyrical melodies and national flavor. Sviridov’s prolific vocal chamber and vocal symphonic output includes Oratorio To the Memory of Sergei Yesenin (1956), Little Cantata Wooden Russia (1964), Cantata Songs of Kursk (1964), and Spring Cantata (1972). He also wrote songs, romances, and cantatas to the poetry of Fyodor Tyutchev, Sergei Yesenin, Alexander Blok, Boris Pasternak, Alexander Prokofiev, Robert Rozhdestvensky, Mikhail Lermontov, Alexander Blok, William Shakespeare, and Robert Burns.

In 1946, the Stalin Prize was awarded to Georgy Sviridov for his Piano Trio; and, in 1960, the Lenin Prize for his Pathetic Oratorio. He became a Hero of Socialist Labor in 1975, and was twice awarded the Order of Lenin. The asteroid 4075: Sviridov, discovered by the Russian astronomer Lyudmila Georgievna Karachkina in 1982, was named in honor of Georgy Sviridov.
