Nikolai Golovanov (1891 -1953), was a Soviet conductor and composer.
He conducted the premiere performances of a number of works, among them Nikolai Myaskovsky’s sixth symphony in May 1924, and recorded operas and concert works by Glazunov, Mussorgsky and Liszt among others. Golovanov held some of the highest musical positions in the USSR, including an extensive association with the Bolshoi Opera.
He was also a composer; his works include the opera “Princess Yurata“, symphonies, two symphonic poems, orchestral suites, overtures on Russian themes, over 200 Romances, arrangements of folk songs, and a number of choral religious works.
Golovanov was a well-regarded piano accompanist in the early years of his career.
