Suleyman Yudakov's Poem

[Admin]

Suleiman Yudakov (Сулейман Юдаков) was born in Kokand in 1916. His "Eastern Poem", for violin and piano, was written some time after 1945. This version - if it is the same piece - seems to have been arranged for violin and small orchestra.

After 1945 he - a prominent Bukharian Jew - composed many works, including the first Uzbek comic opera, ballets, cantatas, and symphonic music. But we have no details.
