He grew up as the son of a family of Jewish origin in Rostov-on-Don. After the early death of his parents, he joined the Red Army at the age of 16 . From 1922 to 1924 he studied piano and composition at the Moscow Conservatory . Despite relegation, illness and material hardship, he managed to move to Leningrad , where he initially made his way as a cinema pianist. In 1926 he was accepted at the Leningrad Conservatory , where he studied composition with Maximilian Steinberg until his graduation in 1931 . During these years he was able to celebrate his first successes with two symphonies (1931, 1932).

In 1933 he was sent to Kazakhstan to help build music life there. He moved to Alma-Ata , became a research assistant at the local music research institute and published around 250 folk songs and instrumental pieces by 1934. From 1934 to 1938 he worked as the musical director of the newly opened State Opera and Ballet Theater of the Kazakh SSR in Alma-Ata. He composed the first Kazakh operas, his first work Kyz-Zhibek (1934) was considered a pioneering work, other operas and ballets followed. From 1939 to 1959 he was chairman of the composers' association in Kazakhstan, and from 1949 to 1951 he was also head of the State Philharmonic. From 1944 on, he taught at the Kazakh National Conservatory in Alma-Ata, from 1955 to 1969 as a professor. His students included composers such as Alexander Sazepin and Leonid Afanassjew .

In 1970 he moved to Moscow , where he died in May 1981 at the age of 75. He was buried in the Kunzewoer cemetery .

Create

He wrote 9 operas, ballets, 8 symphonies, concerts, cantatas, chamber and choral music and songs. Together with Mukan Tulebajew and Latif Chamidi he composed the hymn of the Kazakh SSR. Brussilowski was instrumental in building up and developing the professional Kazakh musical life and was known as a "classic of Kazakh music". In terms of composition, he combined folk music elements with classic modernism. His 3rd symphony Sary-Alka (The Golden Steppe, 1944) was one of the first works of this genre in the Union Republic. His operas such as Kyz-Zhibek and Er Targyn can still be found today (as of 2020) in the repertoire of the country's stages.
