In the middle generation of 19th-century Austro-German symphony composers, Liszt and Berlioz were more popular in Soviet Russia than Schumann, Mendelssohn, or Brahms. And, of the late-19th-century generation—Bruckner, Mahler, and Strauss—Mahler was popular, even as his music was widely criticized as exemplifying the decadence of the West. During Stalin's reign, concert programs feature less Western music in general, focusing rather on Russian classics, particularly Čajkovskij and Musorgskij. |
