Georgy Sviridov

Georgy Vasilyevich Sviridov (Russian Георгий Васильевич Свиридов, scientific transliteration Georgy Sviridov Vasil'evič, .. * 3.jul / December 16 1915greg in Fatesch at Kursk, † January 5, 1998 in Moscow) was a Russian composer.

Life

Swiridows musical education began with a visit to the school of music in Kursk 1929-1932. Afterwards he moved to Leningrad to take until 1936 piano and composition lessons. From 1936, he studied composition at the Leningrad Conservatory. Since 1937, Dmitri Shostakovich was his teacher. After completing his studies in 1941 due to the war Sviridov moved to Novosibirsk, where he remained until 1944. In 1956 he settled in Moscow. There he worked until his death as a freelance composer. At times Sviridov took positions in the Russian Composers' Union. He was always generous prizes and medals, for the first time in 1946 the Stalin prize for his Piano Trio.

Style

First, Sviridov oriented significantly to his teacher Shostakovich. With time, however, its influence decreased and Sviridov developed a very particular musical language. He was primarily a vocal composer, which remains clearly visible even in his instrumental works. Catchy melodies and well comprehensible structures characterize his music. In his Melos he remains closely associated with the Russian folk song. The tonality he never called into question. In general, his works are more traditionally applied, have their roots in Russian music of the 19th century and use far more conservative style means than about the works of Shostakovich. Therefore Sviridov enjoyed great popularity among wide receiver circuits. Critically it was sometimes even rumored a kitsch and nationalism on the other hand. However, many of his compositions are very popular in Russia today. For example, a short segment of his score for the film " Time, forward!" ( Время, вперёд! , Vremya Vperyod " ) for the signature tune of the popular TV news program Vremya ( Время, 'time' ), the nightly throughout Russia achieved a large audience share.
