Mikhail Youdin
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Mikhail Youdin (29 September 1893 St. Petersburg – 8 February 1948 Kazan)[1] was a Russian composer. He studied at Saint Petersburg Conservatory, where he began teaching in 1926,[1] and is best remembered for his 1943 opera Farida.[2]
Youdin earned the nickname "Russian Bach" because of his career spent composing large scale ensembles, oratorios and cantatas.[3]
