Biography
Biography
Ariy Pazovsky studied at Saint Petersburg Conservatory. The field of work recorded is conducting and music. Employment is recorded with Bolshoi Theatre of Belarus. Distinctions recorded are People's Artist of the USSR, Order of the Red Banner of Labour, Order of the Badge of Honour and Medal "For Valiant Labour in the Great Patriotic War 1941–1945".
He was a junior conductor at the Bolshoi from 1923 to 1928, and then director 1943–1948.[2] As a conductor of the Bolshoi Opera, he is credited with having returned parts of Modest Mussorgsky's opera Boris Godunov which had been censored in the Russian Empire.[3] On his arrival in 1943 Pazovsky was required to enliven the repertoire with some 19th-century operas, and thus had to postpone Prokofiev's War and Peace, but made this good with putting on Prokofiev's Cinderella.[4]
