Alexander Nemtin (1936-1999) was born on July 13, 1936 in Molotov (now Perm, Russia). His brilliant musical talent and gift for music composing became apparent to his mother who had graduated from an all girls’ gymnasium and played piano rather well, from his early childhood. In 1944 little Alexander entered primary school and joined a piano class at a music school. In the same year he wrote his first music, and December 26, 1949 is the date of his first appearance on the stage as a composer. Read more on Last.fm
