Rodion Konstantinovich Shchedrin (Russian: Родион Константинович Щедрин, IPA: [rədʲɪˈon kənstɐnʲˈtʲinəvʲɪtɕ ɕːɪˈdrʲin]; 16 December 1932 – 29 August 2025) was a Soviet and Russian composer, pianist, and music teacher. He wrote in a wide range of genres, including operas such as Lolita and The Left-Hander, and ballets such as the Carmen Suite, created for his wife, the ballerina Maya Plisetskaya of the Bolshoi Theatre. His orchestral works includes five concertos for orchestra and six piano concertos, in which he often appeared as soloist. He also composed vocal works such as The Sealed Angel, as well as chamber music and film scores, including Anna Karenina. His works have been widely performed and commissioned internationally, particularly in the United States and Western Europe. Shchedrin is regarded as one of the leading composers of the late Soviet period and an important figure in Russian contemporary music in the decades that followed. Shchedrin was born in Moscow on 16 December 1932, into a musical family: his father was a composer and teacher of music theory, and his grandfather was an Orthodox priest. He was exposed to spiritual independence and critical awareness at an early age. He studied at the Moscow Choral School and Moscow Conservatory, where he studied composition with Yuri Shaporin and piano with Yakov Flier, graduating in 1955. Shchedrin's early works are tonal and colourfully orchestrated, often incorporating elements of folk music, while some of his later compositions employed aleatoric and serial techniques. An accomplished pianist and organist, he performed the solo part of his First Piano Concerto in 1954, while still a student, with Gennady Rozhdestvensky conducting. The concerto draws on Russian folklore, combining empathy with ironic detachment. Although a capable performer, he decided early to focus primarily on composition. Among his early works was the ballet The Little Humpbacked Horse, premiered in 1955. In 1958 Shchedrin married the ballerina Maya Plisetskaya, who later became prima ballerina of the Bolshoi Theatre, and they remained together until her death in 2015. Many of his ballets were written with her in mind, including Carmen Suite (1967), Anna Karenina (1971, based on Tolstoy's novel), and Lady with a Lapdog (1985, after Chekhov's short story). The couple were prominent figures in the cultural life of the Soviet Union, although both were closely monitored by the KGB. ...
