    His first symphony may be his best. He composed it at a very young age! https://youtu.be/EBE1lbQFkGM

    Sad news. He was an interesting composer in the 1960s.

  • Fan says:

    His music for Andrei Tarkovsky’s three earliest films, The Steamroller and the Violinist, Ivan’s Childhood and Andrei Rublev penetrates your soul in their whimsical lyricism.

  • Cyril says:

    Any relation to the pianist Vladimir Ovchinnikov?
