Igor Pikayzen (Violine) // Paul Juon was born in Moscow, of Swiss parents, studying there with Arensky and Taneyev; Rachmaninov, a fellow student at the Moscow Conservatoire, dubbed him 'the Russian Brahms'. There are indeed echoes of Brahms in Juon's early music but there is also a fondness for Russian folksong and a mastery of counterpoint, which all feed into his urgent, late-Romantic lyricism.
