Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Dmitry Kabalevsky (1904-1987)
Bio
Dmitry Borisovich Kabalevsky was born in St Petersburg. He studied at the Academic Music College in Moscow and then at the Moscow Conservatory. He worked with the Productive Collective of Student Composers as a student and before 30 was a lecturer at the Conservatory. He was very prolific and a notable member of the Soviet party. He was given a number of awards including the Lenin Prize, and the Hero of Socialist Labor. He was a contemporary of Prokofiev and Shostakovich but adhered more closely to socialist realism and thus endeared himself to the Party.
