Russian composer Grigory Krein (1879-1957). In the 1920s Grigori Krejn composed a number of works in Jewish style. Public acclaim was denied Grigori Krejn both at home and abroad. From 1926 to 1934 he lived with his highly gifted son Julian in Vienna, Paris and Berlin. After his return to the Soviet Union he still lived a life of obscurity, great hardship and often hunger.
