Alexander Basilov (1946-2007) was a Russian composer and pianist who lived and worked in Moscow, Russia. Inspired by composers like Alfred Schnittke, Frederik Chopin, Sergei Rachmaninov and Rodion Shedrin, Alexander Basilov wrote over one hundred works, focusing on piano literature and vocal repertoire.
Additionally, he composed a large number of choir works, music-theatre plays and orchestral pieces. This very special concert features own daughter and pianist Helena Basilova who spent the last few years finding, researching and studying his compositions. She has also overseen publication of a selection of his chamber music works together with Donemus Publishing House.
