Alexey Lvovich Rybnikov (Russian: Алексе́й Льво́вич Ры́бников; born July 17, 1945 in Moscow) is a modern Russian composer.
He is the author of music for the first Soviet and Russian musicals (rock-operas) "Star and Death of Joaquin Murrieta" (Звезда и смерть Хоакина Мурьеты, 1976) and "Juno and Avos" (Юнона и Авось, 1981, shown more than 700 times), for numerous plays and operas, for more than 80 Russian movies. More than 10 millions discs with his music have been sold to 1989.
Alexey Rybnikov was born on July 17, 1945. Having come into the world in a family of a violinist and an artist, he was surrounded by art and music from the first days of his life. Alexey composed one of his first works — “The Thief of Baghdad” being influenced by a very popular at those times trophy film under the same name.
Rybnikov passed exams to the Central Music School at Moscow Conservatoire after P.I. Tchaikovsky. The boy’s father introduced his son to Aram Khachaturian, who proposed the boy to study in his class. After finishing the music school in 1962, Rybnikov entered the conservatoire where his close contact with the teacher went on. Later Alexey did post-graduate studies under Khachaturian’s supervision as well.
Alexey ('Aleksey) (Russian: Алексе́й, [ɐlʲɪkˈsʲej]) (Bulgarian: Алексей, [aleksej]) is a Russian and Bulgarian male first name deriving from the Greek Alexios (Αλέξιος), meaning "Defender", and thus of the same origin as the Latin Alexius.
Alexey may also be romanized as "Alexei", "Aleksei", "Aleksey", "Alexej", "Aleksej", etc. It has been commonly westernized as Alexis.
Names of many persons of Ukrainian and Belarusian origin previously known as Alexey are now often romanized as Oleksiy (Олексiй) and Alyaxey (Аляксей), respectively.
The Russian Orthodox Church uses the Old Church Slavonic version, Alexiy (Алексiй, or Алексий in modern spelling), for its Saints and hierarchs (most notably, this is the form used for Patriarchs Alexius I and Alexius II).
The common hypocoristic is Alyosha (Алёша) or simply Lyosha (Лёша). These may be further transformed into Alyoshka, Alyoshenka, Lyoshka, Lyoha, Lyoshenka (Алёша, Алёшка, Алёшенька, Лёша, Лёшка, Лёха, Лёшенька), sometimes rendered as Alesha/Aleshenka in English. The form Alyosha may be used as a full first name in Bulgaria (Альоша) and Armenia.

One of the greatest Soviet film composers, Alexey Rybnikov could perhaps be viewed as the Russian François de Roubaix - an artist best known for scoring mainstream theatrical and television films, as well as countless children’s movies and shows. Although classically trained, Rybnikov fell in love with rock n’ roll, and eventually electronic music, leading him to briefly suspend classical ambitions in order to work primarily in the world of cinema and television throughout the 1970s and 80s. Shortly before the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, Rybnikov returned to composing classical music, a prolific output that includes six symphonies and two rock operas. Nevertheless most Russians know Rybnikov for his film music, which has become iconic and representative of a nostalgia for a lost...
