The design for the "20th-Century Composers" series received a 1995 Award for typographic Excellence from the New York Type Director's Club.
Alexander Ivashkin currently teaches the cello and Music History at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. An accomplished cellist and writer on music, he is also a close friend of the Schnittke family.
'So much of the material is new that this book is a must for anyone
remotely interested in the subject.' (Gramophone) 'Ivashkin has
written what is undoubtedly the fullest account to date in any
language of Schnittke's life and work, and one which is unlikely to
be surpassed.' (London Magazine)
'As a series, Phaidon's 20th Century Composers has brought
remarkable variety and a welter of information, both necessary and
delightfully trivial. Intended both for the general reader and for
the more enthusiatically musical...' (The Scotsman)
