The TV cycle" Geniuses " is dedicated to the great Russian composers Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Scriabin, and Shostakovich. This year, the world celebrates the 50th anniversary of Prokofiev's death and the 60th anniversary of Rachmaninoff's death, and in 2005, the 30th anniversary of Shostakovich's death and the 90th anniversary of Scriabin's death. The importance of Russian music is difficult to exaggerate. We want to draw Parallels in this TV series between the life that surrounded each of our five characters and the music that he wrote. Each of them has a tragic fate in their own way, and their creativity has significantly influenced the world music process.
