Born in 1904 in St. Petersburg, Kabalevsky later became pupil at the Moscow Conservatory. In 1929, shortly after a beginning his career as a concert pianist, he garnered some fame with his Piano Concerto No. 1. Upon returning the Conservatory to teach in 1932, Kabalevsky became a dominant figure in Soviet music. Lauded for his patriotic songs and battle hymns during the Second World War, his post-war works continued to reflect the standards of “Soviet Realism.” Though he is best know abroad for his orchestral works, in his homeland he is remembered for his songs, operas and cantatas.
