Vsevolod Zaderatsky (1891-1953) Microbes of the Lyric (1928-1929)
Live from the Recital on December 2, 2023 at the First Baptist Church in Medford, MA, USA.
The name of Vsevolod Zaderatsky cannot be found in any reference books, encyclopedias or study guides about art history of the 20th century. Nevertheless, it is frequently found in prison archives of Soviet Russia.
The mature period of his life absolutely coincided with the military-revolutionary fracture and the age of Stalinism. Born in Rivne, he was a brilliantly educated man, having graduated from the Law Faculty of the Moscow University and the Moscow Conservatoire as a pianist, composer and conductor. From 1915-1916 he was one of the music teachers of the heir to the throne Tsesarevich Alexei, from 1916-1918 he was an officer in the Imperial Army and participated in military manoeuvres during World War I and from 1918-1920 he was an officer with the White Voluntary Army of General Denikin. Zaderatsky’s life in the 1920s-1930s was a mixture of free life (albeit without a passport) and imprisonment. In Ryazan he was arrested in 1921, 1922 and 1926. His last arrest resulted in the destruction of everything he had written, and today we have the composer’s manuscripts beginning from 1928. (By V.Zaderatsky Junior)
