Russian Jewish composer and pianist Samuil Feinberg has been largely neglected, perhaps because he made his peace with the Soviet bureaucracy and perhaps because of a generally conservative stylistic outlook. His gorgeously over-the-top Bach readings as a pianist have been reissued in Russia, and his piano sonatas, one of which was made the subject of a contest with Stravinsky's piano sonata by a Dutch newspaper, are sometimes performed. These songs, however, are world premieres on recordings.
