The uniquely influential Russian musical and theatrical dynasty of the Liadov, Antipov and Pomazansky families supplied Russian culture with nearly 20 musical and theatrical performers, conductors, composers, and ballet dancers over the course of 150 years. Including numerous world premiÃ¨re recordings, these wonderful piÃ¨ces de salon are gems of Russian dance music, full of charming grace, melodic delicacy and nobility. A quote from Anatoly Liadov can stand as representative for all: 'such is my character: do everything so that every bar gratifies.' Olga Solovieva is a laureate of several international competitions. In May 2019 she received the Glinka Medal for her contribution to musical art. She has performed in Russia and internationally, and has collaborated with musicians and ensembles across the globe. Dmitry Korostelyov was awarded the prize for Best Accompanist at the 2005 Rimsky Korsakov Wind and Percussion Instruments Competition in Saint Petersburg. As a pianist he has performed with the Russian State Orchestra, Volgograd Philharmonic Orchestra, and more.
