Born into an intellectual Jewish family in 1915, Frid's early life was shaped by the tumultuous events of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent exile of his father, a noted music journalist, to Siberia. This backdrop infused his compositions with a unique depth and emotional resonance. Frid's career spanned decades, during which he created a rich body of work, including the poignant monodramatic opera "Anne Frank," based on her original diary. His influence on Soviet musical life was profound, and his compositions continue to captivate audiences worldwide, offering a glimpse into the soul of a remarkable era.
