Sviridov was well known composer in the Soviet Russia. He is one of the national composers that didn't make a break through internationally.
I also know the theme of the piece in the clip very well. Maybe it reflects times when communist party tried to create enthusiasm and sense of progress, industrialization. People believed that life is going to get better and music reflected that. But now we can look on this music without political agenda.
There is an example of his music that we used to play.
His Pushkin cycle was well known. I don't think all songs in the cycle are interesting. I played the second one with a singer. He was limited in what he was allowed to set to music. Pushkin was safe choice. But it was possible to express loneliness and sadness that all people go through and can relate to.
I mostly associated him with songs and it could be more difficult for international audience.
He was well known composer and I loved his music.
