[giles.enders]

Vasily Sergeyevich Kalinnikov 13.1.1866- 11.1.1901 (old Russian Calender 1900)  Born in Voina, Russia  died in Yalta, Russia.
Studied at The Moscow Philharmonic Society Music School under Il'yinsky and Blaremberg living in dire poverty which undermined his health.  Tchaikovsky recommended him for the conductorship of The Maliy Theatre.  In 1893 poor health forced his retirement and he spent his remaining years in the Crimea composing.

He was the eldest of three brothers. The youngest brother Viktor Sergeyevich Kalinnikov 1870-1927 wrote mainly choral music.

I know the two symphonies get played an awful lot, but I do believe they deserve mention.
