Ornstein/ Kharitonov - Piano Music 1 AEC Video As the Chief Conductor ofRussian born American composer Ornstein (1893 2002) lived long enough an astonishing 109 years to see his music fall into and re emerge from obscurity. His earliest surviving work dates from around 1905; his last was composed in 1990.
