Vasily Kalinnikov

Vasily Kalinnikov (January 13, 1866 - January 11, 1901) was a Russian composer of two symphonies, several additional orchestral works and numerous songs. His symphonies, particularly the 1st, were frequently performed in the early 20th century. In recent years his fame has diminished but the symphonies are available in recordings conducted by Neeme Järvi.
