Here is a volume of vocal music by the Soviet-era composer Ivannikov. The beginning of this volume has a short Russian bio and a photograph. The bio roughly translates to:
Vladimir Sergeyevich Ivannikov was born in 1906 in Orsha (Belarus). As a child, he learned to play piano under the guidance of his mother, a pianist. Later, he enrolled in the Dnipropetrovsk music school, in the piano class of K. Kaluga. In 1929, he enrolled in the Gnesin Music School in Moscow. Here, his professors were M. F. Gnesin (composition) and G. I. Litinsky (polyphony). He graduated in 1931.

As a young composer, he wrote mostly choral works and popular songs, as well as a number of songs/choruses based on poems by Russian and Soviet poets. As well, he did a great deal of work with the folk musics of the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, and Poland.

In the 1940s, he composed the oratorio 'Warsaw' for chorus and orchestra, a work dedicated to the liberation struggle of the Polish capital. In 1963, he completed a ballet based on Anton Chekhov's 'The Black Monk.'

After the war years, he focused on pedagogical pieces and instrumental music. Amongst these works was a children's ballet 'What is Your Appetite?' Instrumental works include five piano sonatas, five piano sonatinas, chamber pieces, and many children's songs.

Ivannikov's work has always been marked by sincerity. The melodies in his songs always accurately convey the nature of the image he's set out to display, as well as reflecting a deep knowledge of folk culture. In the fields of harmonic and tonality, one can feel his creativity and impeccible taste.
Vladimir Sergeyevich IVANNIKOV

Someone has posted 7 Poems by Paul Verlaine, Op. 23 by Sergei Bortkiewicz on IMSLP, but unfortunately it is blocked for copyright. It was published in 1925 and is not currently available to purchase, so does someone have this score to share? Also, any other of Bortkiewicz' songs? My wife sings German soprano, so I would try to actually make this music with her.

As promised to Alex......the first of a couple of potential postings of songs by Bortkiewicz [and these are to my knowledge very rare]. A single work, Lisette, plus the Op 56 song cycle 'Im Park' [and apologies, both scores were difficult to get clean scans].

Here are those Bortkiewicz Op.23 Songs, Alex was asking about. It's 21 megs, so maybe someone can download it & shrink it.

Many thanks for these. I just noticed that they are now unblocked at IMSLP for Canada.

Final song cycle I have by Bortkiewicz - Op 62 Sternflug des herzens. Score is an original so fragile and difficult to scan but think its come up with a fairly clean copy.

Alex - the only remaining songs I have are all in manuscript and are too large / fragile for my scanner. I will try to find a way to scan these and post here shortly. If you can create any better copies in time, then would be eternally grateful; I worked with Thadani on the printed version of the Op 66 two preludes, so know how difficult it can be trying to read / interpret these manuscripts.

Also very keen to hear any performance you and your wife undertake of any of the songs.
