In 1973 he became deputy editor of the publishers Sovetskiy kompozitor and was nominated Honoured Representative of the Arts of the RSFSR in 1979. He is considered to have made a signifcant contribution to the musical culture of the former USSR. He is a composer with an outstanding lyrical and dramatic gift, and this, coupled with his expertise in the area of folk music (of which he made several recordings) defined his compositional style. His ability to think on the broadest scale and his mastery of orchestral colour attracted him to the writing of symphonic works and music for the theatre and for film.
