Excerpt from Glinka's "Skylark” – aka “The Lark”
[Piano transcription by Balakirev]

The romance (art song) "Skylark" was composed by Glinka in 1840 to a poem by Nestor Kukolnik.

Evgeny (“Zhenya") Malinin (1930–2001) was a pupil of Heinrich Neuhaus. He won the International Youth Festival in Budapest in 1949 (ex-aequo with Tamara Guseva) and 2nd prize at the 1953 Long-Thibaud Competition in Paris. After graduating, he became Neuhaus's assistant at the Moscow Conservatoire.
