BIOGRAPHY |
|
Alexander Raskatov was born in Moscow in 1953 and finished his studies at Moscow Conservatory in 1978. In 1990 he joined the Russian Contemporary Music Association. His interests center especially on vocal and instrumental chamber music and symphonic sonorities. His gifts are most apparent in a lively imagination and emotionality combined with painstaking craftsmanship.
Among his awards and distinctions are a term as composer-in-residence at Stetson University, USA (1990), travel grants to Germany from the Arno Schmidt and M. P. Belaieff foundations (1994), and scholarships from the Franco-American "La Napoule" Foundation (1996 and 1998). In 1997 he was invited to take part in the Cité de la Musique Masterclass (Paris), and he received the composition prize of the Salzburg Easter Festival in 1998. In that same year he also served as composer-in-residence in Lockenhaus.
Raskatov has received commissions for new works from Gidon Kremer, the Sabine Meyer Wind Ensemble, Netherlands Wind Ensemble, the Hilliard Ensemble and the Schoenberg Ensemble, among others.
Alfred Schnittke has called him "one of the most interesting composers of his generation." |
