Dear Sir/Madame, I knew Mr Uspensky in person but quite few. He lived in Tver city, without much contact with Moscow and SPetersburg - means, I know not more than you... Some links, could you please make a google translation - unioncomposers.ru/composer/view/?id=683 unioncomposers.ru/composer/view/?id=683 karavantver.ru/skonchalsya-tverskoj-kompozitor-vladimir-nikolaevich-uspenskij/ classical-music-online.net/en/composer/Uspenskiy/3264 I posted 2 Uspensky's compositions more, see my channel www.youtube.com/@mikhail_kollontay/videos - No missing with the composer VLADISLAV Uspensky, he was another person - About the organist, even on inet, very very few data, sorry

@@mikhail_kollontay thank you for your response and information. Mr. Uspensky was a fine composer and I admire this composition for organ. I hope to become more familiar with his music. I appreciate everything you are sharing. So much fine music is very obscure.

What is possible for my situation, I try - there are many composers whom aren't known in Russia too, I'm a provate person... no sourse to record symphonic works Nikolai Timofeev, Mikhail Chulaki, Boris Klyuzner, Boria Andriasov, Nectarios Chargeyshvili, Sergei Balasanyan, chamber music by Alexander Balashov, Boris Shnaper, Alexander Buzovkin and many many others - what to say about that who still live... Elena Konshina, Valentina Bryzgalova (oh sorry, RIP already), Larisa Kanukova - I name ladies only for example...

@@mikhail_kollontay I must investigate these composers. They are not well known, especially where I am in the US. But there is tremendous talent that must be discovered in these names. I am an organist and so was drawn to this recording. But I plan to listen to all of these recordings...True gems!

Am I fortunate to be speaking to the esteemed composer Mr. Kollontay?
