About
Igor Markevitch, born in 1912 in Kiev, undoubtedly numbers among the most influential conductors of his generation, but as a composer he is virtually non-existent in today’s concert life. He shares this fate with many ‘stateless’ composers who in the political turmoil and catastrophes of the twentieth century were condemned to a plurinational existence, ending up in the no man’s land of music history - Darius Milhaud brought this to the point with his remark about the young Russian with no connection to his homeland.
